Banned From Swift

When Russia got cut off from SWIFT banking, programmers made this joke about Putin being stuck with Objective-C instead of the modern Swift language. Double whammy of financial sanctions and legacy code maintenance. Honestly, forcing someone to use Objective-C in 2022+ is probably a war crime under the Geneva Convention. That square bracket syntax will break anyone's spirit faster than economic isolation.

The 403 Forbidden Diplomacy

Ah, the classic 403 Forbidden error - the digital bouncer of the internet. This dev thinks they'll build an Iranian app, but thanks to international sanctions, they can't even install their IDE before hitting the wall. The 403 error basically says "We see you there, but nope, not happening." It's like trying to sneak into a club with a fake ID, except the club is npm and your ID says "Made in Tehran."
