How Do I Compile This PDF Artifact

Nothing says "I'm from a different era of computing" like sending a PDF of a printout instead of a Git repo link. That senior dev probably still has a drawer full of floppy disks "just in case." Next they'll tell you to compile it by feeding the paper into your CD drive and typing "make oldschool." The digital equivalent of getting directions via fax machine when you asked for GPS coordinates.

The Mythical Five-Minute Meeting

Ah, the mythical "quick call" that's about as quick as compiling a legacy C++ project. The innocuous "you have 5-10 min for quick call?" message that somehow warps the space-time continuum and turns into a 35-minute existential crisis about project deadlines, scope creep, and why the intern broke the production database again. This is why I've developed a sophisticated algorithm for estimating meeting durations: take whatever time they suggest and multiply by π. Works every time. Now excuse me while I go block my calendar for the rest of eternity.

Here We Go

This meme is pure database nerd gold! It cleverly parodies political news by imagining Trump imposing tariffs on "foreign keys" - which in database terms are constraints that link tables together in relational databases. The punchline about "American keys are bigger, better, and will make your database great again" is brilliant because it plays on Trump's nationalistic rhetoric while making a ridiculous claim about database architecture that would horrify any DBA. The final touch about Microsoft and Oracle being "somewhat happy" is *chef's kiss* - implying these tech giants would profit from this chaos while database administrators everywhere have existential crises about how to "manage relationships now." Just like real politics affecting real industries!

Content Theory is when you know everything, but nothing works. Practice is when you don't know anything, yet everything works. In Programming we combine theory and practice; nothing works, and we don't know why.
