Back In My Day We Actually Engineered

Grandma dev isn't wrong. Modern "software engineering" is often just gluing together 47 npm packages and hoping nothing breaks after the next update. Remember when we actually designed systems instead of just importing half of GitHub? Those were the days when UML diagrams weren't just decorations for PowerPoint presentations and "technical debt" meant more than "I'll fix it later" (narrator: they never did). The old guard remembers when optimization meant squeezing performance out of every byte, not just throwing more AWS instances at the problem.

Do You Want This File Or Not

The AUDACITY of these people! 💅 First they're like "Can you render this file for me?" then have the NERVE to expect you to use YOUR precious server resources?! Honey, my server isn't running a charity drive for your computational laziness! The classic client-side vs server-side battle where everyone wants the fancy results but nobody wants to sacrifice THEIR precious CPU cycles. It's like asking someone to bake you a cake and then demanding they eat it too! The sheer DRAMA of web development relationships - first date: "Can I have this file?" second date: "Why aren't you doing ALL THE WORK?!"

Just Personal Branding Things

LinkedIn optimization at its finest. Rejecting the harsh reality of "broke and unemployed" in favor of the much more impressive "full time indie game developer" – which is technically the same thing but with a Steam page that has 3 wishlists (all from family members). The resume gap becomes a "focused development period" and ramen dinners transform into "startup culture."

Content 4 Posted by 1 day ago 273 Does C give you superpowers? Is this a myth or there's some truth to it? " Share 71 Comments ff Award Share 1 day ago A C absolutely gives you superpowers. The line at the club the other night was two hours long, but when the bouncer saw my CppCon tshirt he let me in right away. I went to the bar and set up my laptop. Girls couldn't stop complimenting my template metaprogramming skills. I got 15 phone numbers and didn't pay for a drink all night. When I got back to my car a cop was writing me a parking ticket, but when he saw The C Programming Language by Barne Stroustrup sticking out of my messenger bag, he tore up the ticket. 4 321 " Reply Share

Tech Workers

The ultimate irony of working in tech! While enthusiasts fill their homes with smart fridges that judge their midnight snacking habits, actual tech workers maintain a strictly adversarial relationship with the one printer they reluctantly own. That mysterious grinding noise at 2:14 AM? Definitely the printer plotting its revenge. The paranoia is justified—anyone who's debugged a printer driver knows these devices operate on dark magic rather than actual protocols. The gun is just proper threat modeling for inevitable printer rebellion.
