Full Stack Back End In Disguise
The eternal lie every "full stack" developer tells themselves before crashing into CSS reality. Sure, you can write beautiful backend architecture that scales to infinity, but ask them to center a div and suddenly they're googling the same Stack Overflow answer for the 47th time.

Backend devs masquerading as full stack is the tech industry's greatest magic trick.

Just like successfully plugging in a USB on the first try, it defies the natural order of the universe. That momentary pause where you question reality itself... "Wait, no compiler errors?

Solo Game Dev Double Life 💀
Oh. My. GOD. The absolute AUDACITY of solo game developers! 💅 One minute they're drowning in a sea of basic coding errors that a toddler could fix, and the next they're strutting around telling friends they're "professional game developers." THE DUALITY! It's like wearing a designer outfit while your apartment is literally on fire. The confidence! The delusion! The sheer DRAMA of pretending you know what you're doing when your code is held together with digital duct tape and prayers! And yet, we stan a delusional king/queen. Because honestly, without that unhinged optimism, would ANY indie games ever get finished? I think NOT.
