Shot Yourselves In The Foot

Ah yes, the classic "just make it work" pseudocode solution to frozen programs. Someone's suggesting Microsoft should implement a magic button that forces unresponsive programs to respond, with their brilliant solution being the equivalent of telling a dead horse to stop being dead. The Monty Python reference is just *chef's kiss* - because nothing says "I understand complex software architecture" like medieval knights marveling at basic if/then statements. Next up: fixing memory leaks by typing "memory.stop_leaking()".

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.

So Microsoft brags about 30% of their code being AI-generated, then pushes an update that kills your SSD. Coincidence? I think not. This is what happens when you let GitHub Copilot write your disk I/O routines. Next update will probably require a blood sacrifice and your firstborn child just to boot up. Remember when updates just fixed things instead of creating exciting new problems? Those were the days...

Content Does your dog bite? No, but it can hurt you in other ways. USING LINUX, USING VIM, ! USING A MOUSE DOESNT MAKE YOU A GOOD PROGRAMMER

The eternal cycle of Windows hatred continues! Developers love to rage against each new Windows version, only to become its staunchest defenders once the next iteration drops. Remember the "Windows 7 was perfect" crowd who previously swore XP was the pinnacle? Or the Vista haters who suddenly found it "not that bad" after Windows 8? The cognitive dissonance is real—we're basically Stockholm Syndrome victims with admin privileges. Microsoft could release Windows 420.69 and we'd still follow the same pattern: hate, reluctant adoption, nostalgic defense, repeat.

The classic tech industry bait-and-switch! Job listings be like "We need you to master the entire Microsoft stack, Java ecosystem, and three forgotten XML technologies from 2003" but once you're hired it's just "Hey can you fix this button alignment on the login page?" The disconnect between the encyclopedic knowledge they demand in interviews versus the mundane reality of day-to-day work is the tech industry's greatest magic trick. Meanwhile, the seniors who can't remember half those acronyms are designing the architecture while you're debugging CSS.
