When A Software Engineer Goes To A Family Function
The dreaded family gathering where your entire coding career is reduced to "can you fix my printer?" The meme brilliantly mashes up Among Us with the universal software engineer experience - suddenly you're not the person who builds complex systems, you're just the designated tech support. It's like getting a PhD in neurosurgery only to have your family exclusively ask you about their headaches. The transformation from "software engineer" to "laptop repairman" happens faster than a production server crashes after you push untested code on Friday afternoon.

We Came So Far Guys
1989: "Imagine the technological marvels we'll create with computers in 30 years!" 2020: "So I've simulated 1,000 T-Rexes fighting 80,000 chickens. For science." Ah yes, the pinnacle of computing power - dinosaur-poultry warfare. Somewhere in a server farm, a CPU is thinking, "I was designed to cure cancer, but here we are."

Today I Am An Engineer
The moment you get that computer science degree, everyone suddenly thinks you're the designated IT support person for the entire extended family. Nothing says "I've made it as an engineer" quite like being handed a printer that hasn't worked since Windows XP and being told "you can fix this, right?" The girlfriend bringing home a friend's printer is the final boss of unpaid tech support. Six years of algorithms and data structures for this glorious moment.

Chat Gpt Is At The Peak Of The Hype Cycle
Ah, the Gartner Hype Cycle - tech's emotional rollercoaster! Right now we're all riding that sweet, sweet ChatGPT high at "Peak of Inflated Expectations" where everyone thinks AI will solve everything from debugging your code to fixing your love life. Just wait for that "Trough of Disillusionment" when we realize it still can't figure out why your code works in dev but crashes in production. The real fun begins when some manager inevitably says "Let's use AI to rewrite our entire codebase!" and then blames the junior dev when it hallucinates semicolons in Python.
