Parents Memes

When your mom accidentally becomes the harshest code reviewer in existence! Non-technical parents have this supernatural ability to cut through our complex developer egos with brutal simplicity. "Random English words in fancy colors" is basically what our syntax highlighting looks like to outsiders, and the alignment complaint? Pure gold. That's literally what senior devs nitpick about during code reviews! Mom's innate attention to detail would make her the terror of every GitHub pull request. She'd reject your meticulously crafted 3-hour algorithm because your variable names aren't descriptive enough.

The true horror isn't monsters under your bed—it's dreaming about your mom writing Lua code in Microsoft Word and then copy-pasting it into online compilers. And somehow this nightmare was so viscerally realistic that your friend thinks you're describing something that actually happened. That's the kind of psychological damage that makes senior devs wake up in cold sweats at 3 AM. The combination of Word's auto-formatting destroying code indentation and a parent discovering programming in the most chaotic way possible? Pure developer trauma fuel.
