Can't Unsee: The IT Resignation Glow

Can't Unsee: The IT Resignation Glow
That thousand-yard stare of a man who's finally escaped the hell of legacy code maintenance and 3AM production outages. After years of explaining to management why you can't just "add a small feature by tomorrow," you too can achieve this level of serene detachment. The transition from "let me check Stack Overflow" to "let me check my vacation photos" is the greatest upgrade in the tech stack of life. Notice the luggage - it's not full of clothes, it's full of documentation he never wrote and technical debt he's gleefully abandoning.

Nothing says "career progression" like flying away from a corporate hellscape while leaving behind a codebase that would make Cthulhu weep. The sweet irony of trading a stable paycheck for startup chaos just to escape middle management—only to discover you've merely swapped one dumpster fire for another with fewer extinguishers and half the water pressure. That smug smile says it all: "I might be taking a 50% pay cut, but at least I won't have to sit through another 2-hour sprint planning meeting where we discuss how to rename variables for optimal synergy."

That resume reads like the most epic rage-quit in tech history. Spent two decades optimizing code only to optimize their happiness instead. The career progression we secretly all aspire to—escape the sprint planning meetings to sprint after geese. Bet those 2AM production outages don't seem so bad when your biggest emergency is a honking rebellion.
