For Relatives I Know Nothing About Computers

THE ABSOLUTE TRAUMA of being the designated family tech support! 💀 One minute you're writing complex algorithms, the next you're explaining to Aunt Karen that her Facebook isn't "broken" - she just forgot her password for the 47th time this month. The sheer SURVIVAL INSTINCT of pretending to know nothing about computers is the most sophisticated self-preservation technique in the developer universe. Because once you admit you know how to code, you've basically signed up to fix every printer, router, and "slow computer" until the heat death of the universe!

Nothing Is Wrong (Everything Is Fine)

Ah, the classic "No major incidents" status page showing complete service outages across the board. That special moment when your cloud provider's dashboard says everything is fine while your production environment is literally on fire. The date is from the future (2025) which means we have exciting new catastrophic failures to look forward to! Nothing builds character like explaining to your CEO why the app is down while the status page cheerfully reports all systems normal. It's just a little apocalypse, nothing to worry about!

Keep telling yourself that while NVIDIA releases another $2000 card that's "absolutely necessary" for viewing reflections in puddles.

The Three Stages Of Bug Acceptance

The evolution of every senior developer's relationship with bugs: First, you're naive. "I'll fix this bug right away!" you declare with the enthusiasm of someone who still believes in clean code. Then comes the bargaining phase. "It's not a bug if I can't reproduce it. Must be user error." *closes ticket* Finally, enlightenment: "That weird behavior when you click exactly 7 times while holding Shift? Yeah, that's a 'feature' we totally planned. Find it in the documentation we'll write someday." Ten years in and I've mastered all three stages before my morning coffee.

Denial: The First Stage Of Debugging

The universal programmer's defense mechanism in its natural habitat. First comes the suggestion that code might be the problem, followed immediately by the instinctive denial that echoes through cubicles worldwide. The irony? It's always a software issue... right after you've spent hours swearing it couldn't possibly be. That moment of realization usually hits around commit #47 when you discover that semicolon you deleted "because it looked funny."
