Side Project Always Wins

Side Project Always Wins
The absolute BETRAYAL captured in this single frame! Your work project is literally sitting right there, desperately trying to get your attention with its boring requirements and reasonable deadlines, but nope—you've already chosen violence. That side project? The one that'll probably never see the light of day? The todo app you're building for the 47th time using a framework that came out yesterday? Yeah, THAT'S your soulmate now. The work project can cry in legacy code while you're out here speedrunning your passion project at 2 AM with zero documentation and maximum vibes. The side project doesn't judge you, doesn't have standup meetings, and definitely doesn't need another Jira ticket. It's the forbidden romance of the developer world, and honestly? We're all guilty.

The Indie Game Dev Dream (And Nightmare)

The Indie Game Dev Dream (And Nightmare)
The AUDACITY of thinking anyone would pay for your passion project! There you are, pouring your SOUL into crafting pixel-perfect gameplay while dressed as a literal clown. 🤡 The indie game dev dream: spend 5,000 hours creating your masterpiece only to sell exactly THREE copies (two of which are your parents). Meanwhile, some kid makes a game about a screaming goat and becomes an overnight millionaire. THE INJUSTICE! But you keep coding anyway, rainbow wig firmly in place, because what else would you do with your tragic existence? At least the circus has good benefits!

Thank You For The Forty Unique Downloads, Good Sirs

Thank You For The Forty Unique Downloads, Good Sirs
The sweet, sweet dopamine rush of getting those first 40 downloads on your passion project! That formal announcement energy when your GitHub repo finally gets noticed by someone other than your alt accounts. Game modders live for those metrics—each download representing a real human who thought "yeah, I'll give this random internet person's code a try on my perfectly functioning game." The elegant frog just makes it 10x funnier because that's exactly how you feel announcing your minor achievement in the Discord server where everyone else is sharing their 10k+ download milestones.
