Coding Isn't The Hard Part

Yeah, anyone who thinks programming is just typing code clearly hasn't spent 6 hours navigating a 47-file legacy codebase with zero documentation trying to figure out where the hell to add a simple validation check. The actual typing? That's the victory lap. The real work is archeology—digging through layers of abstraction, following the breadcrumbs of function calls, deciphering someone's "clever" design patterns from 2015, and mentally mapping out how changing one thing won't nuke three other features. Then you find the spot, write your two lines, and some PM asks why it took so long. Classic.

Banned From Swift

When Russia got cut off from SWIFT banking, programmers made this joke about Putin being stuck with Objective-C instead of the modern Swift language. Double whammy of financial sanctions and legacy code maintenance. Honestly, forcing someone to use Objective-C in 2022+ is probably a war crime under the Geneva Convention. That square bracket syntax will break anyone's spirit faster than economic isolation.

Introvert Gpt

ChatGPT taking a full 34 seconds to transform "yo G" into a corporate email greeting is the digital equivalent of rehearsing a phone call 17 times before dialing. That AI is definitely sweating in binary while crafting the perfect response that screams "I definitely know how to human correctly." Next update: GPT-5 with built-in social anxiety and the ability to ghost conversations for days.
