Presentation Memes

You know that feeling when you're supposed to do a quick Zoom demo with some mock data and suddenly the client decides to show up in person? Yeah, that's when the entire production crew arrives. Boom mics, professional cameras, lighting rigs, directors—the whole Hollywood setup. Because when stakeholders are physically present, that "working prototype" better not throw a single error. No more "oh that's just a dev environment quirk" or "just refresh, it works on my machine." Now you've got three people watching over your shoulder while you frantically hope the database connection doesn't timeout and your hardcoded test credentials still work. The pressure goes from casual Tuesday afternoon to Oscar-worthy performance. One wrong click and you're explaining why the "Add User" button creates three duplicate entries. Fun times.
