The 10-Minute Standup Collision

The 10-Minute Standup Collision
Ah, the classic "10-minute standup" that derails your entire morning. The first panel shows the innocent yellow bus of planned meeting time, but then some manager asks about weekend plans and BAM—your precious coding time gets obliterated like that bus getting demolished by the train. What was supposed to be a quick sync turns into a 45-minute discussion about Bob's fishing trip and Sarah's new sourdough starter. Meanwhile, your deployment deadline inches closer and your coffee gets colder. The sprint isn't the only thing that's being derailed here.

Why Digitalization Projects Always Fail

Why Digitalization Projects Always Fail
Ah, the classic corporate strategy meeting. On the left, a massive crowd flocks to the "Fancy-Tech-First" approach. "Let's blockchain our AI microservices in the cloud with quantum edge computing!" Meanwhile, one lonely soul stands at the "Problem-First" door. That person probably asked "What are we actually trying to solve here?" and was immediately labeled as "not a team player." The graveyard of failed digital transformation projects is filled with $10M solutions to $10K problems. But hey, at least the PowerPoint slides looked impressive.

I Mean It Gets The Job Done Right

I Mean It Gets The Job Done Right
Left side: The Olympic-level precision shooter with fancy tools representing project management apps like Notion, Airtable, Trello, and Slack. Right side: The middle-aged dude pointing a pistol like he's never held one before—that's you with your TODO.txt file sitting right on your desktop. Let's be honest—we've all downloaded those productivity apps, spent 6 hours setting them up, created 47 categories, color-coded everything... only to abandon them three days later for the trusty text file that just works. No syncing issues, no notifications, no subscription fees—just pure, unfiltered digital hoarding in plain text. Sophistication is overrated when chaos in a .txt file has never let you down.

The Chain Of Command

The Chain Of Command
The perfect illustration of how a $5,000 website magically transforms into a $50 project after six layers of outsourcing! This is basically the tech industry's version of telephone game, except everyone's wallet gets progressively lighter. What starts with a clueless business owner willing to shell out thousands ends with some poor developer in India coding an entire website for the price of a pizza. Meanwhile, every middleman takes their cut while adding zero value except the phrase "I know a guy." And the best part? The original client still has no idea when their website will be ready. Spoiler alert: it won't be.
