Idk What To Do With These Interns Anymore

16 hours ago 92.6K views 0 shares

When the senior dev says "set up the network switch" and the intern takes it literally . Nothing says "enterprise-grade infrastructure" quite like a switch duct-taped to the ceiling with cables dangling like some avant-garde IT installation art. The blinking lights add that special touch of "it's technically working so don't touch it." Five years later, this temporary solution will still be running production traffic while documented in the company wiki as "ceiling network node alpha."

The Escalating Scale Of Developer Mistakes

Regular coding mistakes: "Oops, I forgot a semicolon." Enterprise coding mistakes: "So I accidentally stored everyone's unencrypted photos with location data in a public Firebase bucket and now there's a map of all users circulating online." This is why we can't have nice things in tech. Some junior dev probably skipped the security training to finish that "urgent feature" and now lawyers are measuring their future yachts. The difference between "ship fast" and "shipwreck" is just a few lines of code and a complete disregard for basic security practices.

Flush Mounted Engineering

Hardware

When you've been in IT long enough, you start appreciating the finer things in life—like a USB receiver hammered so flush into the port that it's now a permanent hardware feature. Sure, you could use the little eject button they provide, but where's the primal satisfaction in that? Nothing says "senior developer" like hardware modifications that would make the warranty department cry. The best part? When someone asks for help removing it, you get to say "Have you tried turning it off and on again?" with a straight face while secretly knowing it's never coming out.

When Your API Key Goes Public Before Your Resume Does

Ah, nothing says "top-notch security" like giving a 25-year-old access to government databases AND AI systems, then watching them accidentally paste an API key on GitHub. Because what could possibly go wrong when someone has access to both Social Security data and cutting-edge LLMs? This is peak "move fast and break things" energy, except the "things" are national security and AI safeguards. The sarcastic "should fill all Americans with a deep sense of confidence" is chef's kiss material. Future historians will call this the "control-C, control-V apocalypse."

This Will Work... Once

Ah, the classic "delete System32 to make your PC faster" trick – the digital equivalent of removing your car's engine to improve gas mileage. For the uninitiated, System32 is a critical Windows directory containing essential files that, you know, make your computer actually work . The look of pure horror on the friend's face says it all: "I'm witnessing a digital murder in real-time." This is basically the computer equivalent of watching someone pour sugar into their own gas tank because they read on a sketchy forum that it "improves combustion." Spoiler alert: your PC will indeed run faster... straight into a brick wall of the Blue Screen of Death. The only thing getting optimized here is your path to buying a new computer!

The classic tech support escalation in just 11 minutes flat! First, you're innocently looking up how to clean your PC, probably thinking "I'll just delete some files, run a quick scan, maybe blow the dust out..." Next thing you know, your computer's transformed into an expensive paperweight. That rapid descent from "routine maintenance" to "existential crisis" is the universal tech journey. The perfect representation of how cleaning your digital workspace is basically playing Russian roulette with your hard drive. Pro tip: always Google "how to recover data from dead PC" before attempting any cleaning.

Someone took "more holes = better airflow" to its logical extreme by apparently drilling hundreds of extra holes into their PC case. This is the hardware equivalent of optimizing your code by removing all the whitespace. Sure, technically you've increased ventilation, but at what cost? Your warranty, structural integrity, and dignity all died for a 0.5°C temperature drop. Next up: watercooling with an actual garden hose.

OH. MY. GOD. The absolute AUDACITY of these AI startups strangling the life out of decent customer support! 😱 Every website that once had actual humans helping you now has these pathetic chatbots that understand your problem about as well as a goldfish understands calculus. "Have you tried refreshing the page?" NO JANET, MY ENTIRE FINANCIAL FUTURE IS HANGING BY A THREAD AND YOUR SUGGESTION IS TO REFRESH?! And that "Now Kith" at the bottom? *chef's kiss* Perfect representation of tech bros forcing this unholy marriage between websites and chatbots that nobody asked for. The digital equivalent of watching someone suffocate a perfectly good pizza with pineapple. MAKE IT STOP!

Blame The Git

Git Devops Programming Debugging

When a developer thinks they're a Git wizard but hasn't quite mastered the dark arts... git push --force is basically the programming equivalent of saying "I know what I'm doing" right before catastrophe strikes. It's that command that overwrites remote history with your local changes, consequences be damned! The poor soul in this comic learned the hard way that Git doesn't come with an "undo apocalypse" button. One minute you're confidently force-pushing changes, the next you've erased months of your colleagues' work and suddenly everyone's Slack status changes to "contemplating violence." And just like that bike crash, there's no graceful recovery from nuking your team's repository. You just lie there, contemplating your career choices while frantically Googling "how to restore git history please help urgent!!!"

Bluetooth Pairing: The Intergenerational Nightmare

THE ABSOLUTE HORROR of Bluetooth connectivity strikes again! 😱 Imagine sitting there, desperately wondering why your game has no sound, while your poor grandfather is being BOMBARDED with helicopter gunfire directly into his hearing aids! The ultimate family tech support nightmare has unfolded! Your gaming session? RUINED. Grandpa's peaceful afternoon? TRANSFORMED into a Vietnam flashback courtesy of Call of Duty's audio soundtrack!

Ah, the classic Nvidia business strategy presented through Gru's plan meme! First panel: "Let's release the 5000 series with zero performance gains!" *confident face* Second panel: "Then update drivers to deliberately cripple older cards!" *still confident* Third panel: "Cause crashes across our entire GPU lineup!" *wait, what?* Fourth panel: *realizes* "CAUSE CRASHES ACROSS OUR ENTIRE GPU LINEUP?!" *horrified face* Nothing says "we're passionate about gaming" quite like sabotaging your own hardware ecosystem! At this point, gamers are just Stockholm syndrome victims with RGB lighting.
