The eternal battle between sanity and productivity! Programmers hear "coding to music" and think it's their lifeline—those noise-cancelling headphones creating the perfect bubble where bugs magically disappear and algorithms flow like poetry. Meanwhile, doctors hear the same phrase and immediately picture some poor soul having their heart rhythm coded to the beat of "Stayin' Alive" during CPR. Same words, completely different universes. One's trying to stay awake during a 12-hour debugging session, the other's literally trying to keep someone alive. Next time you complain about your code not compiling, remember—at least nobody's coding your heartbeat.

The telltale signs of a programmer: nocturnal, caffeine-dependent, and allergic to natural light. The only difference between us and vampires is that we occasionally eat something besides Red Bull and spite. And our code doesn't sparkle in the sunlight—it crashes.
