Bugs Never Sleep

Bugs Never Sleep
Sleep is just a myth in our industry, like documentation that's actually up-to-date or clients who know what they want. The handle @ipv4fan is just *chef's kiss* - clinging to IPv4 like the rest of us cling to caffeine at 2 AM debugging sessions. You know you've made it as a developer when your sleep tracker app files a missing person report. The real 10x engineers aren't the ones who code faster - they're the ones who've evolved beyond the need for REM sleep.

What A Peak Github Commit History Looks Like

What A Peak Github Commit History Looks Like
When your commit history is less about productivity and more about spelling profanities with green squares. Nothing says "senior developer" like meticulously planning commits to spell "SEND NUDES" across your GitHub profile. Probably took more effort than the actual code it represents.

End Of An Era

End Of An Era
A lonely C++ programmer stands in the corner of a party, nursing a drink while contemplating memory management strategies. Meanwhile, the "vibe coders" and "latest JavaScript framework coders" are having the time of their lives, blissfully unaware that pointers even exist. It's like watching someone who knows how engines work watching TikTokers who think cars run on magic and good vibes. The C++ dev silently judges while manually freeing memory that nobody else even knows they're allocating.

The Holy Editor War: Google Takes Sides

The Holy Editor War: Google Takes Sides
Google's passive-aggressive suggestion is the digital equivalent of a parent saying "I'm not mad, just disappointed." The eternal editor war continues as Google clearly takes sides in the Vim vs. Emacs holy war. Searching for Emacs only to be met with "Did you mean: vim" is like telling a Star Wars fan you prefer Star Trek—fighting words in certain circles. The editor rivalry is practically ancient in tech years, with developers forming tribal identities around their text editor of choice. Clearly, Google's search algorithm has chosen the cult of Vim, and isn't afraid to evangelize even when you're explicitly looking for its sworn enemy.

Tech Is A Lawless Industry

Tech Is A Lawless Industry
Ah yes, the infamous barefoot programmer in his natural habitat. While other industries have dress codes, tech has decided that shoes are merely a suggestion. The guy walking barefoot through a professional office space perfectly captures why tech is truly lawless. When your code compiles on the first try, you too can transcend societal norms like footwear. After all, who needs shoes when you're walking on the cloud... computing platforms. Remember: socks are just containers for your feet, and sometimes containers need to be removed for optimal performance.

The #1 Programmer Excuse For Legitimately Slacking Off

The #1 Programmer Excuse For Legitimately Slacking Off
Oh honey, the AUDACITY of that "DeepSeek is thinking" status! 💅 It's the digital equivalent of putting a "Do Not Disturb" sign on your cubicle while you're actually watching cat videos! When your boss catches you sword-fighting with a coworker using ruler swords, just drop that magical phrase and BOOM – they retreat faster than users from Internet Explorer! The perfect crime! It's basically invoking the sacred developer incantation that translates to "my genius cannot be interrupted, even though I'm clearly goofing off." And the boss just ACCEPTS IT! The sheer POWER we hold with this excuse is simply too much for my dramatic soul to handle!

Heathens Will Be Punished

Heathens Will Be Punished
The religious fervor of C programmers is no joke. While some worship at the altar of the sacred C language with its pointers and manual memory management, heretics who dare question its divinity face swift retribution. The non-believer gets literally vaporized for blasphemy against the programming deity. Next time someone tells you C is outdated, remember - segmentation faults aren't bugs, they're divine punishment for your lack of faith. Memory leaks are just your penance for not properly honoring the malloc() ritual.

How To Prove You're A Programmer

How To Prove You're A Programmer
OH. MY. GOD. The absolute DRAMA of being held at gunpoint and your only salvation is to frantically scream "Hello world" like it's some magical incantation! 💀 The soldiers are like "PROVE YOU'RE A PROGRAMMER OR DIE" and this poor soul's entire identity boils down to the ONE thing every programmer learns on day one. Not algorithms. Not data structures. Just the sacred "Hello world" print statement that's basically the secret handshake of our cult. Imagine your life hanging by the thread of a print statement. The AUDACITY! The HORROR! Yet so tragically accurate for our profession!

The Bathroom Evangelism Problem

The Bathroom Evangelism Problem
The unspoken rule of men's room etiquette is apparently nothing compared to a Python evangelist's urge to convert you. Ten years in the industry and I've never met a Python dev who can resist the opportunity to corner someone at a urinal and preach about their language of choice. Meanwhile, the rest of us just want to pee in peace without hearing about how "it's so readable" and "look how few lines of code you need." Trust me, the only whitespace I'm concerned about in this moment is the one between me and the next urinal.

The Two Types Of Gen Z CS-Majors

The Two Types Of Gen Z CS-Majors
The dual-species taxonomy of Gen Z developers has been documented with scientific precision here. On the left, we have the Hackerman Cosplayer - running Kali Linux purely for aesthetic, posting terminal screenshots at 2:58 AM like they're dropping a mixtape, and claiming they could hack NASA with a toaster while struggling to deploy a basic API. They've got a ProtonMail account that's never received a single sensitive email and a collection of AI waifus that would make a neural network blush. On the right, we have the Career-First Minimalist - a blank terminal that's opened exactly once per quarter, a LinkedIn profile that's as barren as their passion for coding, and a copy of "Cracking the Coding Interview" that's still in mint condition. They know Kubernetes exists but would rather discuss their 401k strategy. Their meetings are just daydreaming sessions with screen sharing. The beautiful irony? Both types are getting hired anyway because the job market is desperate for anyone who can spell "JavaScript" correctly.

Say Hi In Your Mother Language

Say Hi In Your Mother Language
When someone asks to say "hi" in your mother tongue but your ACTUAL mother tongue is C++! 💀 The audacity of this programmer responding to "say hi in your mother language" with a full-blown C++ code snippet that outputs "Hi" is just... *chef's kiss*. While everyone else is typing "hola" and "bonjour," this coding warrior decided their native language is strictly semicolon-based. Their birth certificate probably has a memory allocation error.

The Beanie-Based Tech Hierarchy

The Beanie-Based Tech Hierarchy
The secret tech career hierarchy nobody tells you about in coding bootcamp: it's all about the beanie height-to-salary ratio. Want that six-figure software engineering job? Better start folding that beanie up! Meanwhile, the rest of us unemployed devs with our slouchy beanies are just one npm install away from dealing drugs in the parking lot. The real full-stack development is stacking your beanie just right during the Zoom interview.
