The Hype Cycle Continues
Game devs announcing their new project while everyone's still salty about their last disaster is peak software industry energy. The crown just gets passed from one overhyped disappointment to the next while we keep opening our wallets like amnesiacs. Been in this industry 15 years and the cycle never changes—promise the moon, deliver a rock, then immediately start hyping the "revolutionary" sequel. And we fall for it. Every. Single. Time.

Name A Bigger Lie
Ah, Microsoft's "Stay signed in?" dialog. The checkbox claims it'll reduce sign-ins. The "Don't show this again" option suggests it'll disappear forever. Both are pathological liars on par with "I have read and agree to the terms of service." No matter what you click, you'll be re-authenticating again tomorrow because Microsoft authentication has the memory capacity of a goldfish with amnesia. It's the digital equivalent of your coworker asking your name for the fifth time this week.

When I Git Clone Someone's Repository
Cloning that "perfect solution" from GitHub only to discover it's a digital crime scene with 200+ errors? Classic. You're basically performing CPR on code that was DOA. The heroic chest compressions won't bring back what was never alive in the first place. We've all been there – frantically trying to revive someone else's abandoned project while silently questioning our life choices. Next time, maybe check the pulse before adopting the corpse.

When Fixing "One More Bug" Takes A Lifetime
The legendary "one more bug" lie that's haunted developers since COBOL was cool. Your colleague says they're "almost done" with that quick fix, and suddenly you've aged 84 years waiting for the PR. That "simple bug" unleashed a Lovecraftian nightmare of dependency conflicts, undocumented features, and spaghetti code from 2003. The best part? When they finally emerge from their debugging trance, they'll say "that was weird" and move on while you've lost half your lifespan and most of your hair.

Learning Any Language In A Shell
Ah, the classic "six-month Python guru" ambition that lasted approximately five minutes. This is the programming equivalent of saying "I'm going to get abs this year" while ordering a large pizza. The punchline hits harder than a Java NullPointerException - dude abandoned Python faster than people close Stack Overflow tabs after finding their answer. The 120 upvotes on "I switched to Java" is just the chef's kiss of collective programmer schadenfreude.
