Content Me: Starts studying Computer Science Every person I have ever known: it's Free Tech Support

The classic "IT person as unappreciated hero" syndrome strikes again! When you've spent years battling printers that randomly decide to speak in tongues, servers that choose 3 PM on Friday to have existential crises, and users who think "have you tried turning it off and on again" is revolutionary advice... you start to feel like a grizzled detective in a tech noir film. The badge and gun? Those were earned in the trenches of weekend deployments and emergency patches. The real question is why management always looks surprised when IT folks display the thousand-yard stare of someone who's seen too many "unexpected error" messages.

When non-tech people try to "test" your credentials, they never realize they're walking into a minefield of malicious compliance. Instead of listing every computer ever made (an impossible task), Richard just wrote a loop that would rename every computer to "ever." Problem solved with minimal effort—the hallmark of any seasoned engineer. Why spend hours on a pointless task when you can spend 10 seconds writing code that technically satisfies the request? This is peak programmer efficiency: finding the laziest possible solution that's technically correct—the best kind of correct.

HONEY, PLEASE! The expectations vs. reality of programming is the most dramatic betrayal since my coffee promised to wake me up but didn't! 💅 Everyone thinks we're these mysterious hackers in hoodies, typing at lightning speed with perfect precision. Meanwhile, the ACTUAL truth is us staring at the screen with the emotional depth of a confused child trying to solve quantum physics after eating glue. That look of existential dread isn't because we're contemplating complex algorithms - it's because we've spent 4 HOURS trying to find a missing semicolon! THE AUDACITY of programming languages to break over punctuation!
