The circle of programming life is brutal. First panel: a fresh-faced beginner in 2025 desperately seeking validation—"Hey does anyone need me?"—while everyone's just like "NAH" and "NO." Fast forward to panel three where suddenly someone needs them... but plot twist! It's to maintain a Microsoft Access database. That final panel with the lightning and demonic glow says everything about inheriting legacy tech. Nothing crushes the soul quite like realizing your shiny CS degree prepared you for... MS Access. The career trajectory we all fear but somehow keep encountering.

We Literally Have No Idea How To Build Software Like This Anymore
