Does Volume Mount Control Sound Levels

4 days ago 177.2K views 0 shares

When you have zero clue what you're doing but AI is your new senior developer. Someone's out here treating Claude like a Docker wizard, feeding it increasingly desperate prompts hoping it'll magically spit out a working docker-compose.yml . The best part? They probably don't even know what a volume mount actually does (spoiler: it's for persisting data between containers, not adjusting your Spotify). Just vibes-based DevOps where you copy-paste whatever the LLM gives you and pray it works. The frog's expression captures that exact moment when you hit docker-compose up and watch the terminal scroll, having absolutely no idea if success or catastrophe awaits.

I Just Wanted To See How To Do The Task, Not Sit Through 3 Ad Breaks 😭

YouTube's monetization strategy has officially reached dystopian levels. You just want to watch a 4-minute tutorial on how to center a div, but first you need to sit through two unskippable ads about car insurance, then another mid-roll ad for a mobile game you'll never download, and finally a sponsor segment where the creator spends 90 seconds talking about NordVPN. Meanwhile, sketchy piracy sites that look like they were coded in 1997 are somehow providing a better user experience. No ads, instant access, and the only risk is accidentally downloading a crypto miner. The irony is so thick you could deploy it in a Docker container. Welcome to 2025, where the legal option is more annoying than sailing the high seas. YouTube Premium is looking real tempting right about now, isn't it? That's exactly what they want.

That beautiful moment when your intern finally achieves their first production outage. You've taught them well—they've graduated from "works on my machine" to "oh god what have I done." The tears in your eyes aren't from sadness; they're from pride. Your padawan has learned that the real development environment is production, and the real testing happens when users start screaming. They're no longer just pushing code to staging and calling it a day. They've joined the ranks of developers who've had to write a postmortem at 2 PM on a Friday. Welcome to the club, kid. The on-call rotation is on the fridge.

CSS: the only language where you can have 15 years of experience and still Google "how to center a div" every single time. The emotional journey here is accurate—starts with optimism, brief moment of false confidence when something actually works, then back to questioning your entire career choice when padding decides to behave differently in Chrome vs Firefox. Some say there are senior CSS developers out there. I've never met one. We're all just pretending and hoping flexbox doesn't betray us today.

Programmers Be Like I Googled It So Now I'm An Expert

Lawyers spend years in law school. Doctors grind through med school and residency. Programmers? Just vibing with Google and Stack Overflow until the compiler stops screaming. No formal education required when you've got a search bar and the audacity to copy-paste code you don't fully understand. The best part is it actually works most of the time, which really says something about our profession. We're basically professional Googlers with imposter syndrome, but hey, if it compiles and passes the tests, ship it.

Animals Are Essential To Learn Topics

Technical documentation writers discovered decades ago that slapping cute animals on diagrams makes complex systems 47% less soul-crushing to learn. The Apache Web Server documentation figured this out early—why show boring boxes when you can have a literal dog delivering responses? Meanwhile, other docs are out here with flowcharts that look like they were designed by someone who thinks "visual appeal" means using a slightly different shade of beige. The O'Reilly publishing empire basically built their brand on this principle. Nothing says "I understand TCP/IP networking" quite like a book with a random camel on the cover. The animals don't even need to be thematically relevant—just throw a mongoose on there and suddenly people are willing to read 800 pages about database optimization. It's the tech equivalent of putting googly eyes on vegetables to make kids eat them, except we're all allegedly adults with CS degrees.

Gave In To The Urge To Make ACS 101 Meme Pls Shoot Me

Years of experience doesn't automatically translate to skill, and that's the uncomfortable truth nobody wants to hear at meetups. You can write spaghetti code for 20 years and still be terrible at it—time served doesn't equal mastery. Some people start coding at 8 and plateau by 18, while others pick it up at 30 and become wizards within months. It's like saying you're good at cooking because you've been burning toast since childhood. The real flex isn't how long you've been doing it, it's whether you actually learned anything during those years or just copy-pasted from Stack Overflow with increasing confidence.

When you've been coding for years and forget that "googling" is considered cheating in academic settings. The spouse innocently admits to looking up syntax while the programmer husband has a mini existential crisis. Should he break it to her that Stack Overflow is basically every developer's external brain storage? Or let her believe we all memorize those obscure pointer-to-reference-to-function-pointer declarations? The real C++ cheat code is knowing exactly what to google.

Sure, you could waste time learning syntax fundamentals. Or you could master the actual skill that pays the bills: advanced search engine manipulation. Four years of computer science education vs. typing "how to center div stackoverflow" at 2pm on a Friday before deployment. The choice is clear.

The Three Stages Of Programmer Procrastination

Oh honey, the DELUSION of every programmer who swears they'll actually study that new framework at 7pm! Then the transformation begins - suddenly it's "I'm a night owl, I code better at 3am" with full clown makeup. And the FINAL BOSS of self-deception? "I'll just wake up at 5am fresh as a daisy and learn Kubernetes before breakfast!" PLEASE! The only thing getting up early tomorrow is your collection of unread documentation tabs! The three stages of programmer procrastination: optimism, delusion, and complete fantasy - all wrapped in a rainbow wig of lies we tell ourselves!

While lawyers and doctors spend years in prestigious schools mastering their craft, programmers are out here just frantically Googling error messages and copying Stack Overflow solutions like digital scavengers. The truth hurts, but let's be honest—most of us are just one browser history clear away from being completely useless at our jobs. The modern developer's degree is essentially a Bachelor's in Advanced Search Query Optimization with a minor in Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V. And yet somehow, the code still runs. Magical, isn't it?
