Shakespeare Was Really Ahead Of His Time
Ah, the Bard's prophetic vision of modern tech support. Shakespeare apparently predicted SSL certificate failures centuries before HTTPS was even a twinkle in Tim Berners-Lee's eye. "To connect, or not to connect, that is the error message." Somewhere, a sysadmin is nodding solemnly while restarting nginx for the fifth time today. The real tragedy isn't Hamlet—it's your expired certificates.

The Certificate Chase: Udemy's Digital Participation Trophy
EXCUSE ME WHILE I EXPOSE THE DARKEST SECRET OF THE DEVELOPER UNIVERSE! 💀 The absolute TRAGEDY of spending 72 hours on a Udemy course only to discover the certificate is just a fancy JPEG that nobody in the industry gives a flying function about! Yet there we are, watching 37 hours of "How to Master React in Just 3 Days" at 1.5x speed, DESPERATELY clinging to the promise of that digital participation trophy. The validation-seeking MONSTERS we've become! And for what? So we can add another meaningless credential to our LinkedIn profile that recruiters scroll past faster than terms and conditions?! THE HORROR!

Every Senior Dev's Personal Website
Ah yes, the senior developer paradox - can build enterprise-scale distributed systems that handle millions of users, but their personal website? A Firefox security warning because the SSL cert expired three years ago. The computer clock is apparently set to 2025, which is probably when they'll "get around to fixing it this weekend." The same weekend they'll finally finish that side project they started in 2018. At this point, the broken website is basically a badge of honor. "Too busy writing actual code to maintain my own site" is the developer equivalent of a chef who only eats takeout at home.
