Welcome To The Trial By Fire
First day on the job and already discovering the company's sacred tradition: figuring out proprietary tools through trial, error, and existential dread. Documentation?

OMG, the CRUSHING REALITY of tech jobs in four tiny panels! 😭 First day: you're dragging a BOULDER of responsibilities while sweating buckets.

The circle of suffering continues, and the only thing getting lighter is your will to live! Welcome to software engineering, where your reward for hard work is... MORE HARD WORK!
