Only My Boss Can Afford Ram
The lead developer has ascended to mythical status. While you're still running 8GB and Chrome tabs like a game of resource management Jenga, this person apparently has DDR5 RAM. You know, the stuff that costs more than your monthly grocery budget. The rest of the team is out here swapping to disk like it's 2005, but the lead dev? They're living in the future, probably running Docker containers like they're free. DDR5 is the latest RAM standard that's faster and more expensive than DDR4, which means it's perfect for flexing on your coworkers. Nothing says "I'm important" quite like having hardware that doesn't freeze when you open your IDE, browser, Slack, and that one Electron app that somehow uses 4GB by itself.

From Fellowship To Solo: The AI Takeover
2015: A fellowship of skilled developers gathering around the table, sharing knowledge, debating solutions, and crafting code together with their combined wisdom. 2025: Just Gandalf sitting alone in a green-screened room, typing prompts into ChatGPT while his entire dev team has been replaced by a subscription to the AI Pro tier. The budget for the Christmas party is much smaller now, but hey, at least the AI doesn't argue about tabs vs spaces.

The Career Ladder To Meeting Hell
The career progression nobody warns you about: from actually building stuff to just talking about building stuff. Junior devs naively spend most of their day coding and learning, blissfully unaware of their future. Senior devs still manage to code but sacrifice learning time for meetings. And then there's the final boss form - Lead Dev - whose entire existence is just back-to-back meetings where they reminisce about "the good old days when I used to code." The teeth-gritting bear at the bottom is every lead dev internally screaming while scheduling yet another "quick sync" that could've been an email. Career advancement is just trading your IDE for a calendar app.
