As God Intended

The eternal lie we tell ourselves: "It works on my machine!" Left side: Your code running on localhost - a magnificent beast with muscles that could bench press a server rack. Status 200, everything's perfect, and you're basically a coding god. Right side: The same exact code after deployment - a pathetic, malnourished doggo surrounded by CORS errors, cookie sharing issues, and bad requests. Suddenly your beautiful creation is about as functional as a chocolate teapot. The production environment: where developer confidence goes to die and debugging nightmares begin. But hey, at least it worked in development!

The classic "name all the bands" gatekeeping, but make it networking. Every CS student has that moment of panic when someone asks about the OSI model and suddenly you're frantically trying to remember if it's "Please Do Not Throw Sausage Pizza Away" or "All People Seem To Need Data Processing." Meanwhile, the gun just represents the networking professor's grading policy.

45 billion hack attempts a day? That's what happens when your password is "Password123" and your security question is "What's your favorite bank?" The funniest part is some poor security engineer at JPMorgan is probably looking at these stats thinking, "Hmm, only 45 billion? Must be a slow Tuesday." Meanwhile, their firewall is screaming in binary and their server room sounds like a jet engine. Banking security is just a high-stakes game of whack-a-mole where the moles have advanced degrees in computer science.

The great IPv5 mystery strikes again! That awkward moment when the entire internet collectively decided to jump from IPv4 straight to IPv6, and now we're all just pretending to know why! 😅 Truth is, IPv5 was actually an experimental protocol from the 80s called Internet Stream Protocol that never made it to production. But honestly, it's way more fun to nod along in meetings when someone mentions "the IPv5 situation" than admit you have absolutely no clue. Classic networking humor - where admitting ignorance is scarier than configuring a router with your eyes closed!

When your security is so good even you can't access it! The joke here is playing on the concept of SSH private keys (already meant to be secret) and making them "more private" by adding more 's' and 'h' characters—as if whispering "shhh" makes your encryption stronger. It's the digital equivalent of putting your password in a safe, then forgetting the safe combination, then burying the safe in concrete. Security through obscurity and anxiety!

The ultimate tech origin story carved in stone! That runestone honors King Harald "Bluetooth" Gormsson, whose nickname inspired the wireless technology we all know and hate when it randomly disconnects during important calls. Fun fact: The Bluetooth symbol () is actually a combination of Harald's initials in Nordic runes (ᚼ and ᛒ). Ericsson putting this at their entrance is like the ancient equivalent of a company flexing their heritage in the most literal way possible. Next up: A stone tablet commemorating the inventor of Wi-Fi, conveniently placed where the signal doesn't reach.
