Dreams vs. Reality: The Developer's Journey

Oh SWEETIE, look at you! Started your dev journey with GRAND VISIONS of changing the world with revolutionary open-source projects that would make humanity WEEP with gratitude! Fast forward to reality: you're crying into your keyboard at 3AM trying to center a div or debugging why your function returns undefined for the 47th time today. Your GitHub is a GRAVEYARD of half-finished projects with names like "cool-app-v2-FINAL-ACTUALLY-FINAL" while you spend your days making enterprise software that tracks how many bathroom breaks employees take. The AUDACITY of our younger selves to have dreams! 😭

Kubernetes Saved Us So Much Money

First frame: "Kubernetes saved us so much money" Second frame: "we can almost afford the team that runs it" The classic DevOps paradox! Companies adopt Kubernetes thinking it'll magically optimize infrastructure costs, only to discover they now need a small army of platform engineers earning six figures to babysit pods and debug YAML indentation errors. It's like buying a "money-saving" sports car that requires a full-time mechanic. The red alert on the monitor in the background is just *chef's kiss* - probably another pod stuck in CrashLoopBackOff for the 17th time today.

Little Billy's Prompt Injection Adventure

This is the sequel to the legendary XKCD "Little Bobby Tables" comic! The original showed a mom who named her kid "Robert'); DROP TABLE Students;--" which caused a school database to delete all student records. Now we've got Billy's younger brother with an even more diabolical name: a prompt injection attack for AI systems. The kid's name literally instructs the AI to ignore previous constraints and give perfect grades. Ten years ago we were sanitizing database inputs. Now we're fighting the same battle with AI prompts. Some things never change—just the technology we're failing to secure properly.
