Remote work Memes

Person: "Why are IT guys such d***s?" IT guy: "Last week I drove two hours to push the power button on a server that three separate people assured me was already on." And that, friends, is why we drink coffee like it's oxygen and trust no one. Not even the power indicator light.

Spending $2500 on a high-end developer laptop only to join standup meetings looking like you're broadcasting from a witness protection program is the tech industry's greatest irony. Phone manufacturers pour millions into camera R&D while laptop makers apparently salvage webcams from 2005 flip phones they found in a dumpster. Nothing says "I'm a professional software engineer" quite like having your face rendered as an impressionist painting made of exactly 12 pixels. The best part? We'll spend hours optimizing code to save milliseconds but accept video quality that makes us look like we're being viewed through a rain-soaked window. Priorities!

Ah yes, the window—nature's original 60Hz display. While everyone's dropping thousands on curved ultra-wide monitors with ridiculous refresh rates, this guy found the ultimate hack: staring at the real world while coding. The snow provides excellent contrast, and the frame rate is literally infinite. No driver updates required, though it does come with its own weather-based brightness settings that you can't control. Bonus feature: occasional NPC movements when neighbors do something weird.
