The Code Review Double Standard

The Code Review Double Standard
The duality of code reviews perfectly captured! On the left, you're the sweet innocent chihuahua in a pink sweater, smiling hopefully as you submit your code for review. "Please be gentle with my 3 AM spaghetti code masterpiece!" But when someone asks you to review their code? Suddenly you transform into the demon chihuahua on the right, teeth bared, ready to tear apart every unnecessary variable and poorly named function. "You called this function 'doStuff()'? I'm about to end your whole career." For the uninitiated, "LGTM" stands for "Looks Good To Me" - the four letters every developer dreams of seeing in their pull request... right before the reviewer adds "...except for these 47 issues I found."

Docs Are Read Only

Docs Are Read Only
The DUALITY of the programmer's soul laid bare! 😱 When we're DESPERATELY hunting for documentation, we transform into feral Gollum, ready to sacrifice our firstborn for a single paragraph explaining that obscure API. "MUST HAVE THE PRECIOUS DOCS!" we screech while frantically clicking through GitHub issues at 3 AM. But the MOMENT someone suggests WE write documentation? Suddenly we're covering our ears like traumatized Sméagol, absolutely REFUSING to acknowledge such a horrifying request. "NOT LISTENING! I'M NOT LISTENING!" Because writing docs is basically volunteering for torture when there's "real coding" to be done!

I Hate PHP Until It Pays The Bills

I Hate PHP Until It Pays The Bills
Developer: "I hate PHP! Get that thing out of my face!" *Discovers Laravel framework* *Aggressively chomps Laravel* *Suddenly sees dollar signs floating around* It's the classic developer journey from "PHP is trash" to "actually I can make money with this" pipeline. The framework makes the language palatable enough to swallow your pride along with it. The bird isn't evolving its opinions—just its billing rate.

I Hate PHP (But I Love Money)

I Hate PHP (But I Love Money)
Developers: "I hate PHP! Get that thing out of my face!" Also developers: *aggressively consumes Laravel, a PHP framework* Five minutes later: *quietly making money with the very thing they claimed to despise* The circle of developer life: loudly hating technologies while secretly using them to pay the bills. The dollar signs don't lie.

The Code Is The Documentation

The Code Is The Documentation
The eternal programmer's dilemma captured perfectly! On the left, we have the desperate developer frantically searching for documentation like Batman on a vengeance quest: "WHERE IS IT?!" Meanwhile, on the right is Bugs Bunny with that smug "NO" when it's their turn to write documentation. This is basically every codebase ever. We all want comprehensive docs when we're trying to understand someone else's cryptic code, but when it's time to document our own "perfectly self-explanatory" masterpiece? Suddenly we're too busy for such trivial matters. The hypocrisy is *chef's kiss*.
