Fast, Good, Cheap, Or Vibing

The classic "Fast, Good, Cheap: Pick Two" engineering trilemma meets the harsh reality of modern dev life. Except now we've added a fourth option: "Vibe Coding" – where you're just having a good time with your vibrating... code editor.

Spoiler alert: that massager isn't fixing your technical debt, but it might help you cope with the existential dread of that legacy codebase you inherited. Management still expects all four options simultaneously, naturally.

Over Time Request Denied

The brain's 3 AM debugging service is the most reliable and unrequested feature in a developer's life. That sudden epiphany about fixing a bug you've been stuck on for days always arrives precisely when you're trying to sleep – never during your actual work hours when it would be useful (and compensated). Your brain is basically that coworker who never contributes during meetings but messages you with brilliant ideas at midnight. And just like your employer, it doesn't believe in overtime pay for those inconvenient moments of clarity.
