Job posting: "Fast-paced and exciting!" Translation: You'll be trapped in a beige cubicle prison that makes solitary confinement look like a tropical vacation. The "excitement" is watching the same beige walls close in on you while you contemplate your life choices. The "fast pace" refers to how quickly your soul drains out of your body with each passing hour. That single monitor from 2007? That's your window to the world now. The thrilling phone calls? Probably just IT telling you to restart your computer. Again. The only thing moving fast here is your motivation—straight out the door.

Your Code's Emotional Support Animal
The emotional damage of hearing "that feature won't be deployed" hits harder than any dog bite. You spent 3 days optimizing that algorithm, refactoring legacy code, and writing pristine documentation... only for management to casually toss it in the digital trash bin because "users won't notice it anyway." The dog might not bite, but management's casual dismissal of your work is the real psychological doberman attack. Somewhere in a parallel universe, there's a git branch with all our rejected masterpieces, living their best lives.
