Modern Computing Priorities

Modern Computing Priorities
In 1973, NASA sent humans to the literal moon with just 4KB of RAM. Fast forward to 2019, and your beastly machine with 16GB RAM and maxed-out CPU is brought to its knees by... an Excel dialog box lurking in the background. Nothing captures modern software bloat quite like this perfect comparison. We've gone from accomplishing humanity's greatest feats with minimal resources to having our supercomputers paralyzed by spreadsheet popups. Progress?

Who Here Works For NASA

Who Here Works For NASA
Ah yes, because every developer's first instinct when seeing "NASA needs to establish lunar time" is thinking: "Finally! A chance to implement datetime.moon and watch it break absolutely everything!" Just imagine the Stack Overflow questions: "Why is my lunar microservice 2.8 seconds behind Earth production?" or "Help!

The number of relatives who thought I was one keyboard shortcut away from jail time after showing them this trick was truly concerning. Bonus points if you added some green text on black background for maximum "Hollywood hacker" aesthetic.

The Universal IT Solution Reaches Space

The Universal IT Solution Reaches Space
NASA, the literal ROCKET SCIENTISTS who put humans on the moon, fixed a multi-billion dollar space telescope with the EXACT SAME TECHNIQUE I use when my Wi-Fi stops working! 💀 The pinnacle of human engineering and astronomical achievement, the Hubble telescope, gets the same treatment as my $20 router from Best Buy. I'm SCREAMING! All those PhDs and fancy degrees, and their ultimate solution was "have you tried turning it off and on again?" The universal IT support mantra transcends even the vacuum of space!
