Expectation Vs. Reality: The True Face Of Programming

Content So will refactoring the code improve the loading time? Not really So tell me - why is it always the same old story with you guys wanting to refactor everything! I NEED TO KNOW!! Will it improve security then? So... it's for browser compatibility? Absolutely not Because, as devs, if we know we've left messy code, we can't stop thinking about it: when we wake up in the morning, at lunchtime, in the evening when we go home, and when we're trying to go to sleep.

Congratulations! You've achieved the impossible: making a game so beautiful that players are mad it doesn't suck more. This reviewer is basically saying "How dare you make something gorgeous without forcing me to solve obscure puzzles where I need to combine a rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle?" The "finished within Steam's refund window" comment is the chef's kiss of backhanded compliments. Nothing says "your art is wasted" like someone timing their gameplay to maximize their financial efficiency. Next time, maybe add some deliberately frustrating gameplay elements? Perhaps force players to type commands like it's 1985, or add some game-breaking bugs for "authenticity." That'll teach you to make something beautiful but accessible!

The duality of every programmer when family asks for tech support. First panel: confident, top-hat wearing gentleman pondering a printer issue like it's beneath his intellectual capacity. Second panel: same gentleman gleefully announcing "NOT A CLUE!" with the enthusiasm of someone escaping a trap. Third panel: the crushing realization that he's now obligated to try anyway because he's "the computer person." Being able to build microservices architecture doesn't mean I know why your printer is making that weird grinding noise. It's like asking a neurosurgeon to fix your kitchen sink because "you're a doctor, right?"
