How Do They Do This
The dark magic of build systems strikes again! Kitware, the company behind CMake, somehow claims 24 million users despite no one ever voluntarily identifying as a "CMake user." It's like that moment when you realize you've been drafted into an army you never signed up for. The Saruman imagery is perfect because using CMake feels exactly like staring into a mysterious orb that shows you cryptic error messages while slowly draining your will to live. We all just wanted to compile our code, but instead we're part of some grand arcane ritual.

The One Ring Of Tech Buzzwords
The eternal battle between sales and engineering continues! Sales execs looking at new projects like they're discovering the One Ring to rule them all – "Let's sprinkle some blockchain and AI on it!" Meanwhile, developers are channeling their inner Aragorn with a firm "NO" that contains the exhaustion of a thousand pointless standups. It's the corporate version of "We have blockchain at home. The blockchain at home: an Excel spreadsheet with a password." The irony? Most projects that "need" blockchain and AI could be solved with a decent database and some if/else statements.

Every developer who's stared at a regex pattern for more than 10 minutes eventually starts muttering "precious" and crawling around in server rooms.

Forced Shutdown
The duality of forced shutdowns! Physically, it's just a simple power button press. Emotionally? You're basically Boromir dying in Aragorn's arms after slaying your unsaved work and 47 browser tabs. That moment when you hold down the power button feels like executing Order 66 on your digital empire. "I'm sorry little one, but these 8 hours of compiling must die because Windows Update decided today was the day." The ultimate digital mercy killing that somehow feels like a war crime.
