Pipeline Goes Brrr
Ah yes, the developer lifecycle. Start a PR, wait for CI to validate your code, die of old age, become fossilized, and still the pipeline isn't done. The skeleton represents what's left of us after waiting for those 700+ tests to pass just so we can merge a one-line fix that removes a trailing comma. The best part? When it finally finishes, there'll be a merge conflict anyway.

Ten Minutes To Check A Nickname
When your Discord registration is secretly running on a 486 processor from 1992. Ten minutes to check a nickname? In that time I could compile the Linux kernel, refactor my entire codebase, AND question all my life choices that led me to this moment. The spinning circle of doom is probably just a single-threaded function checking if your nickname contains any forbidden characters while simultaneously mining cryptocurrency on the side.

There Goes 40 Minutes
When you install a new game but forget that your gaming rig needs to compile shaders before you can actually play. That moment when you hit "Play" all excited, only to be stopped dead in your tracks by the dreaded "Compiling Shaders: 1 of 9378" progress bar. The betrayal! Your evening plans suddenly held hostage by the GPU equivalent of watching paint dry. And somehow it's always when you've only got a small window of free time to play. Those shaders might as well be compiling your disappointment in real-time.

The Sacred Art Of Waiting For Renders
Rendering: the art of turning your $3000 gaming PC into a space heater while you stare at a progress bar. Non-3D folks will never understand the sacred ritual of watching an hourglass while your GPU screams for mercy. "I'm not doing nothing, I'm actively waiting for technology to catch up with my artistic vision."

Guess Who Accidentally Clicked Rebuild All
That thousand-yard stare of a developer who just hit "Rebuild All" right before a meeting. Now he's trapped in his own personal prison, watching helplessly as his CPU melts, fans scream, and battery drains faster than his will to live. The compiler is probably still on file 3 of 9,457. He's calculating whether he has time to get coffee, update his resume, or possibly move to a new country before it finishes.

Waiting For A Code Review Until The End Of Time
The fossilized remains of a developer who DARED to ask for a code review! ☠️ Honey, some say he submitted his PR during sprint planning and turned into LITERAL DUST while refreshing GitHub notifications. The archaeological evidence suggests he waited through THREE COMPANY RESTRUCTURES and a complete rewrite of the codebase before finally perishing. His last words were reportedly "just a quick review plz" sent via Slack at 4:59pm on a Friday. Tragic, yet completely avoidable if literally ANYONE on his team had bothered to look at his branch. Pour one out for our fallen comrade! 💀

Kernel Development: A Test Of Infinite Patience
Kernel compilation is the ultimate test of patience. You make one tiny change to a variable, hit that clean build button, and suddenly you're trapped in a time warp that makes continental drift look speedy. The meme perfectly captures that feeling of sitting there, arms crossed, staring daggers at your hourglass (or progress bar) as precious minutes of your finite existence drain away. The best part? You know deep down you'll be doing this at least 17 more times today. Compile, wait, curse, repeat—the sacred ritual of kernel development.

Ittakesforever
Ah, the eternal struggle of a C++ developer forced to run Python code! While C++ executes at lightning speed (because it's compiled directly to machine code), Python's interpreted nature means you could literally decompose waiting for that data processing script to finish. The skeleton represents the C++ dev who started the Python script, went for coffee, came back, had lunch, and still found themselves staring at the terminal waiting for completion. The irony is exquisite - the language known for memory management efficiency reduced to watching another language inefficiently chug along. Some say the skeleton is still waiting to this day...

Where Answer
Ah, the eternal Stack Overflow waiting game! You pour your heart and soul into crafting the perfect question, triple-check your code snippets, hit submit, and then... crickets. Just you, refreshing the page every 30 seconds like a monkey waiting for a banana. Meanwhile, your deadline creeps closer, your coffee gets colder, and your will to live diminishes with each passing minute. The only response? Some guy marking it as duplicate of a 2011 thread that has absolutely nothing to do with your problem. Sweet validation that you're not just talking to the void would be nice!
