Surprise Senior: The Accidental Promotion
Congratulations on your instant promotion! Nothing says "I'm ready for this responsibility" like clutching your coffee with the thousand-yard stare of someone who just inherited 200,000 lines of undocumented legacy code. One day you're asking questions, the next day you're the oracle everyone turns to. "But I just figured out where the config files are..." Too late, friend. Time to grow that beard and develop a caffeine tolerance that would kill a small horse.

When you write code, it's all stars and stripes and freedom – "MY code, MY creation!" But the moment it breaks and someone else has to fix it? Suddenly it's "OUR bug, comrade!" The capitalist-to-communist pipeline happens at lightning speed when responsibility for broken code comes knocking. Nothing turns a code ownership individualist into a sharing collectivist faster than a production outage at 3 AM.

The Great Production Server Escape
Ah, the classic production server meltdown scenario. Nothing triggers the fight-or-flight response quite like hearing those dreaded words: "Who was working on the server?" That's when you suddenly develop superhuman speed and peripheral vision loss. Ten years of experience has taught me that no explanation involving "just a small config change" will save you from becoming the human sacrifice at the emergency postmortem meeting. The fastest developers aren't the ones who can type 120 WPM—they're the ones who can disappear before their name gets mentioned in the incident report.
