Discord Vs Team Speak

The first block makes 1000 network calls to add numbers. The second just adds them locally. And yet some developers will still ask "why is my code so slow?" while their app makes HTTP requests to add 2+2. It's like driving to the grocery store to use their calculator when you have one on your phone. Sure, both methods get you the sum, but one involves putting on pants.

The tech evolution iceberg is the perfect personality test for developers. Started with Windows and macOS? Basic normie. Running Linux/Windows dual boot with Firefox? Congrats, you've achieved tech bro status. But the real fun starts when you hit the nerd level with Vim and full disk encryption. The basement dwellers are running custom kernels and using IRC like it's still 2005. "What messaging app do you use?" "Oh, just /bin/dash, you wouldn't understand." Then there's the glowie tier with encrypted GRUB and air-gapped machines. These folks compile their own compilers because they don't trust the ones that compiled the compilers. And finally, the ascended beings who've transcended physical hardware entirely. They probably run consciousness.sh directly on the universe's quantum fabric. The rest of us are just trying to remember our WiFi password.

Every sysadmin knows this feeling. Your manager thinks you're busy testing that fancy new Cisco router while you're actually sneaking glances at the ticket queue that's been on fire since 2019. The shiny new toys always get the budget approval, but somehow fixing the actual production issues that cause your phone to blow up at 3 AM is considered "maintenance" and "not a priority." Classic management move to think you're living your best network engineer life when you're actually just trying to keep the digital duct tape from peeling off.

Ah, the classic tech executive playbook: First, fire a third of your engineering team. Then, host a high-profile interview that everyone will want to watch. Finally, act surprised when your remaining skeleton crew can't handle the traffic spike. It's like removing three wheels from your car and then wondering why it can't complete a cross-country road trip. The distributed denial of service isn't from hackers—it's from your own distributed denial of common sense.

When your colleague quits without leaving any docs and you're stuck maintaining their cursed codebase, you find yourself staring at blank pages with notes like "This page was left blank because the previous engineer quit before writing documentation." But then you flip to the next page and discover they somehow had time to write a full academic paper on "Image Transfer Protocol Delivery Methods for Sending Pocket Rocket Pictures to Tinder Matches." Complete with an abstract, keywords, and what appears to be legitimate protocol analysis (UDP, TCP, HTTP, SSL) for... optimizing dick pic delivery. The priorities here are chef's kiss . Can't document the actual production system that generates revenue, but can absolutely produce a peer-reviewed paper for EdgartsPocketRocket.com. The dedication to the wrong things is honestly impressive. Pro tip: If you're gonna rage quit, at least leave a README. Your replacement doesn't deserve this chaos.

The conference room is completely empty except for the world's loneliest table. Turns out when you're looking for universally beloved tech, you get PHP 6 (which never actually shipped), IPv5 (a failed experimental protocol that was skipped entirely), and Windows 9 (which Microsoft yeeted straight into the void). The joke writes itself: these "attendees" are either vaporware, skipped versions, or technologies so cursed they never saw the light of day. They can't be hated if they don't exist. *taps forehead* Meanwhile, every other technology is out there getting roasted daily on Twitter. JavaScript? Too many frameworks. Python? Slow as molasses. Rust? The evangelists won't shut up. But these three? Pure, untarnished, because they never had the chance to disappoint anyone.
