Blocking Requests: Choose Your Impossible Feature

First panel: Kid wants a dragon for Christmas. Totally reasonable request.

Second panel: Santa says "be realistic" because, you know, dragons don't exist (yet).

Third panel: Kid switches to asking for "true concurrency without changing the existing design" - which is basically asking for a mythical creature in the programming world. It's like requesting to add multi-threading to legacy spaghetti code without touching a single line. Pure fantasy!

Fourth panel: Santa's like "what color dragon do you want?" because suddenly a fire-breathing reptile seems WAY more achievable than refactoring for concurrency without breaking everything. The perfect metaphor for when your PM asks for the impossible and then wonders why you're laughing hysterically at your desk.

Content There he is So I showed the whole demo to the client, just as planned So? And And I followed the exact paths we had planned.. Well nothing happened, there was no problem at all Huh? Yeah, and what happened? What do you mean by "no problem"? leven did the whole demo a second time... still not a single bug I have no idea... I guess everything went just as planned. Really?

Linux App Dev Is Not That Bad

Ah, the gentle bedtime reading for Linux developers—a chapter on "Process Primitives" that escalates from "Having Children" (fork() calls) to "Watching Your Children Die" (handling terminated child processes) in approximately 0.2 seconds. The progression from spawning processes to murdering them, with a nostalgic pit stop at vfork() for the greybeards, perfectly captures the existential horror that is Linux process management. Nothing says "totally normal operating system" like documentation that reads like a serial killer's manifesto. And they wonder why therapists ask Linux developers if they're "killing children" at work.
