The Self-Sustaining Developer Ecosystem
The circle of software development life in four panels. The dev who fixed the bug gets praised by colleagues, feeling like a hero for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, the same dev who introduced the bug in the first place stays suspiciously quiet about that part. Classic job security strategy – break things just enough that you become indispensable when you fix them. It's not a bug, it's a career advancement feature.

The #1 Programmer Excuse For Legitimately Slacking Off
Ah, the modern developer's version of "my code is compiling." Remember when we had to wait for actual compile times? Now we just blame the AI for our extended coffee breaks. The beauty is that nobody can verify if ChatGPT is actually still working or if you've been scrolling Reddit for the last 45 minutes. And the best part? Management can't argue because they're doing the exact same thing. It's the perfect crime - you're technically "waiting for a tool" while secretly planning your weekend. And if anyone questions the time it takes, just mutter something about "token limits" and "complex prompting strategies."

No I Don't Want To Go Back
The AUDACITY of someone asking if you're coding while you're in the TRENCHES preparing for the apocalypse that is RTO! Like, excuse me?! I've got five monitors set up, seventeen contingency plans for when my VPN inevitably fails, and I'm practicing looking productive on camera while secretly updating my resume. Return to office isn't a policy—it's a HOSTAGE SITUATION. The only code I'm writing is the one that calculates how many sick days I can take before HR notices. The WFH paradise is crumbling and you want me to debug your function? THE HORROR!

The #1 DevOps Excuse For Legitimately Slacking Off
The ultimate DevOps get-out-of-jail-free card! When your manager catches you sword fighting with your coworker instead of deploying that critical patch, just yell "DNS!" and watch them retreat in terror. DNS propagation is the perfect excuse because it's both legitimate and completely unverifiable. "Is he actually waiting or watching YouTube? Who knows! Better not risk questioning the DNS gods." Even the most hardened managers know better than to challenge the mysterious black hole where productivity goes to die.

Your Average Manager Halloween Costume
Ooooh, the scariest costume of them all! 👻 This IT Manager package comes with everything you need to haunt your dev team's nightmares! Just slip it on and watch your coworkers run screaming from the "free pizza" that mysteriously only appears when you need them to stay until midnight. The empty promises accessory pairs perfectly with the "we're like a family here" speech you'll give right before canceling everyone's PTO requests. Truly terrifying how accurate this is... I'm having flashbacks to my last job where my manager's idea of career development was hiring his golf buddy instead of promoting anyone internal. The costume even includes the special ability to develop selective hearing loss whenever a developer mentions "technical debt" or "burnout"! 🎃

The Sheer Joy Of Dealing With It Department 404
When free money meets corporate trickery! 💸 This poor soul got BAMBOOZLED by their own IT department who set up a fake phishing test disguised as a $20 voucher email. The classic "too good to be true" trap that we ALL would've fallen for! Now they're stuck in mandatory security training purgatory, probably watching those soul-crushing videos about not clicking suspicious links... while dreaming about what they could've bought with that non-existent $20. The skull emoji says it all - they're DEAD inside! This is the corporate equivalent of your parents saying "just kidding" after promising you ice cream. 😭
