The Terminal Witch Hunt
Open a terminal in public and suddenly you're the digital equivalent of a witch in Salem. Just trying to check disk space but the crowd's already gathering kindling. Non-tech folks see those colorful command lines and immediately assume you're either hacking the Pentagon or summoning digital demons.

I Am Not A Hacker
Nothing screams "elite hacker" to non-tech folks like a black terminal with white text. I've literally had people back away nervously when I'm just checking disk space with df -h .

Ten years writing enterprise software and people still think I'm breaking into the Pentagon when I'm actually just trying to remember the syntax for tar for the 500th time.

Is This Real: The IT Perception Matrix
The tech workplace hierarchy decoded in grid form! Each IT role has their own unique perception of colleagues, ranging from admiration to outright hostility. Developers see designers as children, while security views everyone as potential threats. QA's perspective is particularly brutal—seeing developers as headache-inducing and project managers as chaotic mobs. The most accurate row might be the sysadmins, who apparently view security folks as actual traffic cops stopping everything. It's basically a documented proof that we're all silently judging each other while pretending to collaborate. The cross-functional team meeting just got awkwardly real.
