The Mythical Five-Minute Meeting

The Mythical Five-Minute Meeting
Ah, the mythical "quick call" that's about as quick as compiling a legacy C++ project. The innocuous "you have 5-10 min for quick call?" message that somehow warps the space-time continuum and turns into a 35-minute existential crisis about project deadlines, scope creep, and why the intern broke the production database again. This is why I've developed a sophisticated algorithm for estimating meeting durations: take whatever time they suggest and multiply by π. Works every time. Now excuse me while I go block my calendar for the rest of eternity.

The true mark of seniority isn't writing complex algorithms or architecting scalable systems—it's the art of staying silent during meetings that could've been emails. That awkward monkey face perfectly captures the existential crisis of realizing you're paid a small fortune to occasionally unmute and say "sounds good to me" or "I'll circle back offline." The real six-figure skill? Knowing when your input adds zero value but still collecting that direct deposit. Silent wisdom is apparently worth its weight in gold.

Senior Engineer: Expectations vs. Reality
Remember that glorious day you got promoted to Senior Engineer? Your brain filled with visions of complex architecture designs, mentoring juniors, and making critical technical decisions. Then reality hit like a null pointer exception. Turns out "Senior" is just corporate code for "Professional Meeting Attendee." Your calendar transformed from blocks of focused coding time to an endless parade of standups, planning sessions, retrospectives, and those special meetings that could've been emails. The only code you write now is the occasional email response typed between back-to-back Zoom calls while desperately clinging to your coffee mug like it's the last working node in your cluster.
