Silence, Current Side Project
The eternal ritual of the programmer: commanding the current side project to remain silent while being seduced by the siren call of a shiny new idea. That dopamine hit from starting something fresh is just *chef's kiss* - while your half-finished projects collect digital dust in that special GitHub folder we never speak of. The cemetery of "I'll get back to this later" grows another tombstone.

The Wandering Eye Of Game Development
The eternal struggle of the game developer's brain - constantly being seduced by shiny new project ideas while your current project glares at you with betrayal and disappointment. That folder of half-finished Unity projects isn't going to complete itself, but damn if that new roguelike concept doesn't sound more exciting than fixing that collision detection bug you've been stuck on for three days. The project graveyard grows larger with each passing "Wouldn't it be cool if..." thought.

It's Really Necessary To Stabilize Project
The project manager is salivating over their delivery bonus while the senior architect just casually dropped a nuclear bomb about migrating to some shiny new framework. Classic tech industry priorities in action! The PM sees dollar signs while the architect gets to play with their new toys, and guess who's going to be working nights and weekends to make it happen? Not these two—they'll be at the beach while the dev team frantically googles "how to migrate legacy codebase to FancyFramework 4.0 without breaking everything." Ten bucks says the framework will be deprecated before the migration is even complete.

Distracted By The Shiny New Runtime
OH. MY. GOD. The absolute BETRAYAL of every developer's existence captured in one image! 😱 Your current project is literally a Jenga tower on the verge of collapse, held together by duct tape and prayers, and what does your wandering eye do? Falls hopelessly in love with that seductive new JavaScript runtime with its cute little face and promises of "better performance" and "revolutionary features." MEANWHILE, your actual responsibility is about to CRASH AND BURN spectacularly! We've all been there, abandoning our fragile code architecture to chase the next shiny framework that will supposedly solve all our problems. Spoiler alert: IT WON'T! But will that stop us from doing it again next week? ABSOLUTELY NOT! 💅

STOP EVERYTHING! The dev's mind is literally DRAGGING the poor developer away from their sad graveyard of unfinished games toward yet ANOTHER shiny new idea! 💀 The eternal struggle of game developers everywhere - abandoning perfectly good projects because your brain just HAD to whisper "but what if you made a zombie survival crafting RPG with blockchain integration instead?" The cemetery of half-finished projects grows larger while your portfolio remains tragically empty!

Rip My Ideas
Coding life in a nutshell! You're happily working on your current project when suddenly a shiny new idea appears and BAM - you abandon everything to chase it! Meanwhile at the bottom of your hard drive, that skeleton is literally all your past projects sitting there... forever unfinished, collecting digital dust. The GitHub graveyard grows another tombstone! 💀 We all have that folder named "will_finish_someday" that we haven't opened since 2019!
