STOP EVERYTHING! The most accurate portrayal of full stack development I've ever witnessed! 😱 This poor child accidentally became the PERFECT metaphor for what happens when you're forced to know 37 frameworks, 12 languages, and still make it to stand-up by 9am!

When your Uber driver is simultaneously reviewing pull requests while navigating traffic, you know tech culture has gone too far. The ultimate multitasking fail: merging code while merging lanes. Somewhere, a project manager is thrilled about the increased productivity while everyone else is praying they make it to their destination alive. The hustle culture has officially jumped the shark!
