Free Labor With A Side Of Competition
The eternal developer nightmare: being asked to build something "for the experience" while someone else profits from your work. That school project is basically saying "Hey kids, compete against each other to build our website for free, and maybe we'll give you a gold star!" The kicker? You're not just doing unpaid work—you're doing unpaid work with the added pressure of a competition. It's like being asked to interview for a job by building their entire product first. Next thing you know, they'll ask students to "redesign the school's enterprise database system for extra credit."

The emotional journey from "I can figure this out" to "OH NO THEY STOLE MY WHOLE IDENTITY" is just *chef's kiss* devastating. And that final panel? THE RCS SYSTEM IS 100% IDENTICAL?! That's not just getting sniped by the competition—that's getting your soul harvested by the gaming gods themselves! The indie dev market is truly the hunger games of programming, and this poor soul just got CANNONED.
