From Zero To Legacy Hero

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.

Linux Double Standard

Ah, the Linux purist paradox. Proudly declares "MS is bullshit" while mentioning they use Arch (because of course they do), but then gets absolutely triggered when asked about using GitHub (owned by Microsoft), VS Code (Microsoft's editor), or NPM (runs on Microsoft infrastructure). Nothing says "I have principles" quite like selectively applying them only when it doesn't inconvenience your workflow. The cognitive dissonance is strong with this one.
