Just Make It Exist First

Just Make It Exist First
OH MY GOD, the absolute CHAOS of modern development in one image! 😱 At the top, we have a janky circle with error messages screaming "REDACTED" because who needs proper code when you can just make something EXIST?! And then the bottom panel—sweet heavens—that perfect circle with Unity debug logs about lemonade sales and XP gains. THIS IS THE DEVELOPMENT LIFECYCLE IN ITS PUREST FORM! Ship that minimum viable garbage first, then somehow transform it into something that actually works while your logs are having an existential crisis in the background. The eternal battle between "done" and "good" continues to claim victims across the industry!

GitHub Gatekeepers vs. Vibe Coders

GitHub Gatekeepers vs. Vibe Coders
The eternal battle between self-proclaimed "real programmers" and the rising "vibe coders" who just ship stuff! This post brilliantly skewers the gatekeeping culture in software development. On one side, we have the GitHub purists judging everyone's code quality, design patterns, and commit messages. On the other, we have people who might Google "how to center a div" 10 times daily but somehow manage to ship working products. The real magic happens when you've internalized enough patterns that you can focus on building rather than constantly looking things up. It's not about memorizing algorithms or being a "real programmer" – it's about getting stuff done while maintaining enough quality to sleep at night. Fun fact: Some of the most successful products in tech history were built by people who would fail a traditional whiteboard coding interview. The code that runs the world isn't always pretty, but it works!

Outdated Parent Advice

Outdated Parent Advice
Parents: "There's no shortcut in life." Meanwhile, developers are just over here hammering Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, and StackOverflow like it's our job. Because it literally is. The entire tech industry runs on keyboard shortcuts and accumulated technical debt that future-you will definitely fix... someday... probably never. Let's be honest, if we didn't take shortcuts, we'd still be writing assembly code on punch cards. Technical debt is just the price of admission for shipping on time.
