I Was There When It Was Written

The thousand-yard stare of someone who's survived COBOL, Fortran, and that one codebase from 1997 that nobody dares to touch. Senior devs don't just understand legacy code—they were forged in its fires, back when documentation was a sticky note and version control meant making a copy called "final_FINAL_v2_ACTUALLY_FINAL.txt". They don't fear the spaghetti; they've eaten it for breakfast for decades.

Winter Is Coming

When winter arrives and the city deploys its most powerful weapon against icy roads. For non-Windows users, Ctrl+Alt+Delete is the holy trinity of "something's broken and I need to nuke it from orbit." It's the universal panic button that brings up Task Manager to mercy-kill frozen processes. So naturally, a salt truck bearing this legendary keyboard combo is basically saying "I'm here to terminate frozen objects with extreme prejudice." The truck doesn't just melt ice—it force quits it. No "Are you sure?" dialog, no saving state, just pure destructive efficiency. The roads are about to get Task Manager'd into submission. Bonus points for the fact that salt trucks and Ctrl+Alt+Delete both solve problems through aggressive intervention when things have stopped responding.
