So I Am Not The Only One!
The eternal struggle of being the tech person at a social gathering. There you are, trying to enjoy dinner with your spouse when suddenly their friends ambush you with questions about some obscure tech they heard about on a podcast. DeepSeek-R1 is actually a large language model (like ChatGPT's cousin), but to non-tech people, it might as well be alien technology. Meanwhile, your spouse has seen this movie before and knows exactly how the next hour of conversation will go—you reluctantly explaining machine learning concepts while your food gets cold. Ten years in the industry and I'm still the default tech support/explainer at every gathering. The dog represents my inner self—just wanting to be petted and fed treats instead of discussing transformer architectures over appetizers.

When Array Indexing Destroys Your Social Life
The eternal sin of the MATLAB programmer. Nothing screams "I'm about to ruin this friend group's day" like casually dropping that you index from 1 instead of 0. Non-MATLAB programmers look at you like you've just admitted to putting pineapple on code pizza. The social damage is irreversible - you're now forever branded as "that weirdo who starts counting at 1." No party invitation will ever feel the same again. The MATLAB logo at the bottom is basically the programming equivalent of a crime scene marker.

I Have This Idea And You Are A Developer
The five stages of being ambushed with an app idea: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and finally reaching for your beer while contemplating how many "million-dollar ideas" you've heard this month alone. Friends somehow believe coding is just typing random characters until an app appears. Bonus points if they offer "exposure" as payment or say "it's like Uber but for [literally anything]." Most developers have mastered the art of the thousand-yard stare while mentally calculating how many weekends this conversation is about to cost them.

Don't Try It: The IT-Architect Dating Disaster
Oh. My. GOD! The absolute TRAGEDY of every IT professional's social life! 😭 You think you're impressing someone with your fancy "architect" title, only to watch their excitement PLUMMET into the abyss when you add those fatal two letters: "IT-". The disappointment is so palpable you could build a data center with it! One minute they're imagining you designing the next Burj Khalifa, the next they realize you're just the person who tells everyone to "try turning it off and on again." THE HORROR!

Say Hi In Your Language
When someone asks you to say "hi" in your mother language and you respond with a C++ code snippet... This is peak programmer energy! The person literally speaks in code, treating C++ as their native tongue. I bet they dream in algorithms and have debugging nightmares. This is what happens when you spend more time with compilers than with actual humans. Their social skills might be deprecated, but their syntax is impeccable!
