Finally Crawling Back To SQL
The sweet, sweet embrace of relational databases after spending months in NoSQL hell. You swore MongoDB was the future, but now you're crawling back to PostgreSQL like a desperate ex. "Please take me back, I promise I'll normalize my tables this time." Nothing says "I've grown as a person" quite like appreciating foreign key constraints after trying to manually join documents across collections. The NoSQL hangover is real.

The Git Catastrophe: Java Edition
The classic "I'll just work on this quick side project" to "oh god what have I done" pipeline. Five hours of Java coding, feeling all proud about your brilliant creation, only to realize you forgot version control. Now you're frantically typing rm *.java followed by git add *.class commands like a madman, trying to salvage what's left of your dignity. The face of pure desperation in that last panel is the universal developer expression for "I've made a terrible mistake." That moment when you realize you've been adding compiled files instead of source code to your repo is the closest programmers get to an out-of-body experience.

Code From Last Friday
The classic "Friday me vs Monday me" time loop of despair! You confidently abandon your code on Friday thinking "I'll remember exactly what I was doing!" Then Monday hits and you're staring at your own creation like it's written in hieroglyphics. Your brain has completely wiped all memory of what that mysterious variable named 'x' was supposed to do, why there's a comment saying "DO NOT DELETE THIS - FIXES EVERYTHING," and why half your functions have names like 'temp_solution_final_v2_ACTUALLY_FINAL'. The weekend memory wipe is the true villain of software development.
