The Mockup Misunderstanding

The Mockup Misunderstanding
The freelancer's eternal facepalm moment. You send a client a static JPEG mockup of their website design, and they call you confused why they can't click the buttons. That painful silence on the phone while you contemplate your career choices and whether explaining the difference between an image and functional code is worth your hourly rate. The client probably also wonders why the "video" isn't playing and why they can't type in the search bar. And somehow, this will be your fault in the invoice negotiation.

Noah's Ark Of Programming Resources

Noah's Ark Of Programming Resources
The coding hierarchy of life, beautifully illustrated through Noah's Ark. At the top, we've got StackOverflow - the mighty elephant carrying us all. The giraffe reaching for those YouTube tutorials when all else fails. Meanwhile, documentation sits there like a wise old man nobody listens to. Then there's the middle tier: GitHub code (somewhat reliable), professor's code (theoretical at best), your friend's code (questionable but free), and your actual code (we don't talk about that). But when the client shows up? Suddenly that horrific amalgamation of duct tape and prayers you call "working code" becomes your prize exhibit. And the client, bless their heart, still asks "what the hell is this?" - as if they expected actual software engineering instead of the digital equivalent of a panic attack.
