Delete MS Teams: The Linux Developer's Nightmare
The eternal struggle of Linux users when corporate overlords mandate Microsoft Teams. It's like being offered a choice between eating glass (using Teams) or drawing 25 UNO cards (just accepting defeat). Linux devs would rather compile their own kernel from scratch while juggling flaming torches than willingly install Teams on their pristine, open-source systems. The look of absolute disgust as they contemplate their life choices says it all. "You want me to install proprietary software ? I'd rather reconfigure my entire desktop environment... again."

The Open Source Paradox

The Open Source Paradox
Ah, the classic Linux purist paradox. You've got your system running pure FOSS, compiled your own kernel, and refuse to install proprietary drivers... then proceed to spend 8 hours on Reddit complaining about Nvidia while downloading Steam games.

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?

We Are Not The Same: Code Shame Edition
The eternal struggle of every developer who's been in the trenches long enough. Sure, some folks keep their code private because it's their golden goose—fair enough, capitalism and all that. But some of us? We're just hiding the digital equivalent of duct tape and prayers that somehow passes code review. The real 10x engineers aren't the ones with proprietary algorithms; they're the ones brave enough to let the world see their 3 AM solutions with variable names like 'temp2', 'finalFinalActuallyFinal', and comments that just say 'TODO: fix this garbage later'.
