Side projects Memes

The Ever Given ship stuck in the Suez Canal perfectly represents my project management skills. That massive hull labeled "MY TO-DO LIST OF PROJECTS" isn't going anywhere, while the tiny excavator labeled "MY PROGRESS" is just pathetically scraping away at the edge. Meanwhile, I'm off starting "ANOTHER TO-DO APP" because clearly that's what will solve my productivity issues. Nothing says "competent developer" like having 47 unfinished projects and deciding the solution is project number 48.

Oh my gosh, this is the MOST ACCURATE THING EVER! 😂 That initial dopamine rush when you get a shiny new project idea - you're basically Tom from Tom & Jerry with arms raised in pure joy, ready to conquer the world! "THIS IS GONNA BE THE COOLEST APP EVER!!!" ...and then reality hits exactly 5 minutes after you start coding. Suddenly you're staring at your IDE like a shell-shocked cat, questioning all your life choices. "Wait, how do I even implement this? Why isn't this library working? WHAT IS THIS ERROR MESSAGE EVEN TRYING TO TELL ME?!" The eternal cycle of programmer enthusiasm vs. programmer despair. We never learn, do we? Yet we'll be excited about the next project idea tomorrow! 🙃

Opening that GitHub repo after half a year feels like deep-sea archaeology. The code is some ancient artifact, buried under 3775.6 meters of mental context you've completely forgotten. You stare at your own comments thinking "What kind of sleep-deprived maniac wrote this?" before realizing it was you, at 2AM, fueled by energy drinks and misplaced confidence. The worst part? That brilliant architecture you were so proud of now looks like someone let a neural network write code after training it exclusively on Stack Overflow answers from 2011.

The eternal developer graveyard of unfinished projects claims another victim. That suggestion to "finish your last project" might as well be suggesting cold fusion or dividing by zero. The look of pure existential dread says it all - we don't start projects, we merely begin permanent relationships with GitHub repos we'll eventually ghost. That folder labeled "projects" on your drive is basically a digital hospice where good intentions go to flatline.

Ah, the eternal graveyard of half-finished projects. That last panel perfectly captures the existential rage when someone suggests you actually complete something instead of starting yet another shiny new endeavor. The audacity of suggesting we confront our digital skeletons! Making a game or learning SQL? Those are just future abandoned projects waiting to happen. But finishing what we started? That's the real horror story. The developer's GitHub is basically a cemetery of repositories last updated 3 years ago with commit messages like "initial commit" and "will finish tomorrow."

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!

That crushing moment when you've spent 3 months building your revolutionary microservice architecture with cutting-edge tech stack, only for your friend to glance at it and say "cool" before asking if you've seen the latest Netflix show. The emotional damage is immeasurable. Your creation—your child —dismissed with the same enthusiasm people reserve for mediocre sandwich choices. Next time I'll just say I've been "watching TV" instead of "rewriting my entire app in Rust because JavaScript hurt my feelings."
