Either That Or A.I.

The trillion-dollar financial industry's dirty secret? It's just a bunch of spreadsheets in a trenchcoat. Banks, hedge funds, and trillion-dollar markets all crucified on the cross of Microsoft Excel. One misplaced decimal, one broken VLOOKUP, and the economy tanks. Meanwhile, some 22-year-old analyst is frantically trying to fix their circular reference errors before the CFO notices. The modern economy: powered by a program designed in the 80s that crashes if you sort a column wrong.

Our Code, Comrade

Ah, Cold War propaganda meets modern tech rivalries. Microsoft reminding us that sharing code freely is basically a slippery slope to full-blown communism. Because nothing says "threat to capitalism" like letting people see your for loops. The irony is delicious considering Microsoft now owns GitHub and claims to "heart" open source. Turns out the red menace was inside Redmond all along.

Session Cannot Have Ass

VS Code just delivered the most savage code review in history. When your editor straight-up terminates your session because your code quality is so bad, you know it's time to reconsider your life choices. The irony of Microsoft's premier IDE just giving up on you is peak developer humiliation. That moment when even your tools are like "nope, I refuse to participate in this atrocity." Just imagine explaining to your team lead: "I can't push my commit because VS Code deemed it unworthy of existence."

This Has To Be The Best Blue Screen Of Death I've Ever Seen In Person

Windows decided to get philosophical and just display ":(" followed by "You" on the BSOD. No cryptic error codes, no "CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED", no "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL"—just straight up telling you that you are the problem. The OS has achieved sentience and is now gaslighting its users. Honestly, it's the most honest error message Microsoft has ever produced. No beating around the bush with technical jargon—just a sad face and a finger pointed directly at you. At least now we know who Windows really blames for all those driver failures.

Very Inefficient But Entertaining

Time travelers from 2025 have confirmed what we all suspected: programming is still about writing inefficient code that somehow works anyway. Bill Gates asking what VIBE stands for only to have Linus Torvalds drop the perfect acronym burn is exactly how I imagine tech titans spend their free time. Just two guys with verified checkmarks casually defining the coding ethos that pays all our bills.
