Corporate Branding: From Horses To Developers

Remember when Microsoft thought servers would die? Fast forward to today where we're all just renting someone else's server and calling it "the cloud." The internet train absolutely demolished that 1980s prediction—now we've got data centers the size of small countries and everyone's obsessed with serverless computing... which ironically runs on even MORE servers. The circle of tech life: everything old becomes new again, just with a fancier marketing budget.

When normal people see "I ❤️ U" written on a foggy window, they think it's a sweet romantic gesture. But computer science folks? They see the ASCII representation of fatal system errors! The "I" is an exclamation mark (error alert), the heart is a null pointer, and "U" is the undefined behavior symbol. What's a love note to some is basically a computer's death certificate to others. Your romantic gesture just crashed my kernel.

The eternal dance of deployment bravado! Two hands gripping a sword with "YES!" emblazoned on the blade when the product manager asks if we're ready for deployment. But look closer at the second panel - those same hands are whispering the truth: "YES! But it'll Definitely Crash." It's that special confidence only developers have - absolute certainty that something will work perfectly until the moment it touches production. Sure, it passed all three test cases we bothered to write! What could possibly go wrong? Just another Friday deploy before a weekend of emergency hotfixes. Ship it!
