Four Years Of Programming Experience

The cosmic horror of being assigned as a code reviewer for a 208-file pull request with +114,948 lines added and -1,130 lines removed. The giant, menacing figure represents the monstrous PR towering over the poor developer who's been summoned to review this abomination. That's not a codebase change—that's a whole new dimension of pain being introduced into your repository! The "And It Is Only Monday" title perfectly captures that sinking feeling when your week starts with what can only be described as a code war crime. Whoever submitted this PR clearly doesn't believe in atomic commits or the concept of human mercy.

The first two panels show our protagonist happily accepting normal entry point functions in Rust and C/C++. "Yeah, that makes sense!" she cheerfully exclaims. Then panel three hits with Python's bizarre if __name__ == '__main__': pattern - the cursed incantation every Python dev has blindly copy-pasted a thousand times without questioning why we need this arcane check just to run a damn script. And that final panel? Pure existential horror. Seven years into my career and I still type this abomination with muscle memory while silently wondering who hurt the Python designers.

This is what happens when you don't implement a proper base case! The kid yells about recursion under the bed, then we see the dad looking under the bed... only to find another kid yelling about recursion under that bed. It's recursion all the way down! The programmer's equivalent of the monster under your bed is just an infinite stack overflow waiting to happen. Sweet dreams, hope your call stack doesn't explode before morning!

The brain's selective activation protocol: completely unresponsive when asked if you're sleeping, but instantly operational when detecting a bug fix opportunity. Developers' brains have this remarkable ability to ignore basic human needs like sleep when code is involved. That bug on line 255 has probably been haunting them for days, and now their subconscious has cracked the case at the most inconvenient time possible. Sleep is temporary, but the satisfaction of fixing that elusive bug is forever.
