Coding excuses Memes

Top panel: The face of pure dread when looking at actual development tasks. Bottom panel: Suddenly perking up with interest when someone asks for a TPS report or some other administrative nonsense. It's the universal law of developer productivity - code feels like a chore until someone interrupts with something worse. Then miraculously, that refactoring task you've been avoiding for weeks looks like a sanctuary.

The classic "dog ate my homework" excuse enters the digital age! This poor CS student tried the oldest trick in the book, only to get caught in a programming pun trap of their own making. When the professor questions this absurd claim about a coding assignment, the student can't resist delivering that killer punchline: "it took him a couple bytes ." The silence that followed was probably more painful than debugging a recursive function at 3 AM. Next time, maybe try "my code compiled on my machine" instead – slightly more believable than a dog with a taste for JavaScript.
