When 'Pass The Interview' = 'Cancel My Flight'
The existential crisis of every imposter syndrome-riddled developer! This dev knows their code is held together by StackOverflow answers and prayer, so if an aviation company thinks they're qualified enough to hire, that's a terrifying red flag about who's building flight systems. The ultimate paradox: succeeding at the interview would confirm their worst fear—that the bar is low enough that even they could pass. And suddenly every turbulence bump becomes "oh god, did I write that part?"

There Are Days Going Like This
Who needs test-driven development when you can have bug-driven testing? The top panel shows the proper way to catch bugs—writing tests to find problems in your code. But let's be real... the bottom panel captures what actually happens in the trenches. You write some janky code, it breaks spectacularly in production, and suddenly you're frantically writing tests to figure out what the hell went wrong. It's the classic "I'll write tests later" approach that somehow becomes "I'll write tests when everything catches fire." The smug satisfaction on that face says it all—there's a twisted joy in debugging through chaos rather than preventing it in the first place.

Good Devs Are Expensive Until Disaster Strikes
The financial calculus of software development hits different at 3 AM when your servers are burning. That $150/hour senior dev you rejected? Suddenly looks like a bargain when compared to the $50,000/minute revenue loss from your payment system being down. The technical debt collector always shows up at the worst possible time, and unlike regular debt collectors, this one charges compound interest in the form of your engineering team's sanity and your customers' trust. Pro tip: The cost of prevention is always cheaper than the cost of the cure.

Perfection Within The Week
The joke here is so absurd it's brilliant. Someone's claiming Git, JavaScript, and Microsoft BASIC were all created in a week, and therefore are "perfect software." Meanwhile, the three-headed dragon meme shows the reality: they're all monsters, with JavaScript being the derpy one. For those who've spent years battling Git's cryptic error messages, JavaScript's "undefined is not a function" nightmares, or BASIC's spaghetti code limitations, this is pure comedy gold. These tools took years to develop and are still far from perfect. The date stamp of 2025 is just the cherry on top of this satire sundae. It's the software development equivalent of claiming you can build the Golden Gate Bridge with popsicle sticks over a weekend.

Unless You Work With Aeroplanes Or Something
The classic developer mantra: "Nobody is going to die if you write bad software" paired with "Faking it till you make it should probably be fine" and a dead platypus in the middle. The perfect encapsulation of that voice in your head justifying why it's OK to push untested code to production on a Friday afternoon. Just remember, somewhere an aviation software engineer is reading this and having a panic attack.

If Open-Source Is So Great
The eternal mystery of software development. Free hobby projects somehow manage to be both revolutionary and utterly unusable at the same time. It's like getting a Ferrari with square wheels and documentation written in hieroglyphics. Meanwhile, corporate software with billion-dollar budgets still crashes when you press two buttons simultaneously. The difference? One has a fancy marketing team that convinces you the bugs are actually "features."

But At Least They Are Passing
The classic software development Schrödinger experiment: tests are both passing and failing simultaneously until you observe the coverage. Sure, the GitHub badge proudly shows green with "Tests passing" - technically not lying. Meanwhile, the 0% coverage badge silently screams "we wrote exactly ONE test that checks if true equals true." The digital equivalent of putting a single piece of tape over your check engine light and declaring the car "fully serviced."
