Stop Selling We Already Bought It

Stop Selling We Already Bought It
The classic corporate bait and switch. Management (excited German Shepherd) buys some shiny new dev tool after a slick demo, while the developer (unimpressed cat) sits through what was promised as a "tutorial" but is actually just 45 minutes of marketing fluff about features they'll never implement. The cat's dead-inside expression perfectly captures that moment when you realize you've wasted an hour of your life watching someone click through pre-built examples while explaining absolutely nothing of technical value.

Why Programmers Like Cooking

Why Programmers Like Cooking
Cooking: predictable, reliable, unchanged for centuries. Software development: a nightmare circus where your tools break faster than you can use them. Nothing quite like spending 3 hours setting up your environment only to discover your dependency manager no longer supports the library you need. Or that beautiful moment when npm decides your perfectly working package is now "deprecated" and suggests using something completely different that requires rewriting half your codebase. This is why senior devs hoard working configurations like dragons with gold. "Touch my Docker setup and I'll end you."

The Iceberg Of Developer Productivity

The Iceberg Of Developer Productivity
The iceberg of developer productivity! That tiny visible tip labeled "Actually Writing Code" represents the 15 minutes of actual coding you do in a day. Meanwhile, lurking beneath the surface is the massive time-sink monster called "Setting Up The Local Environment" - that hellscape where you spend 7 hours fighting dependency conflicts, configuring Docker containers that refuse to play nice, and Googling cryptic error messages that have exactly one result on StackOverflow from 2014 with no answers. The real programming job description should just be "Professional Environment Configurator who occasionally types a semicolon."
