I Mispelled

Every year, it's the same dance. Seasoned devs and PC builders screaming "BUY NOW DURING BLACK FRIDAY" while everyone else goes "nah, I'll wait for a better deal." Then January rolls around and suddenly GPUs are either sold out, scalped to the moon, or both. And there you are, refreshing Newegg at 2 PM on a Tuesday, wondering why you didn't listen. The GPU market is basically a psychological thriller at this point. Crypto miners, AI bros training their models, and gamers all fighting over the same silicon. The people who bought in November are happily training their neural networks while you're stuck debugging on integrated graphics like it's 2005. Pro tip: When people who survived the 2021 GPU shortage tell you to buy something, maybe just buy it.

Nothing says "I've made poor life choices" quite like being paraded around as the technical expert in a sales meeting. That grumpy cat is every developer who's been forced to wear the metaphorical bunny ears of client-facing responsibility. Your manager is gleefully showing you off like "Here's our senior developer who will make all these impossible promises come true!" Meanwhile, you're plotting the most elegant way to sabotage their LinkedIn profile later. The universal dev truth: code doesn't lie, but sales decks absolutely do.

Junior dev casually announces they're about to nuke the backend and database at 9:40 AM like they're ordering coffee. Boss tries calling—ignored. Then comes the classic "Deploy*" with an asterisk that screams "I meant destroy but autocorrect saved literally nothing." Followed by "Apologies" and desperate pleas to just pick up the phone and take the day off. The junior's response? "Don't worry. It was a typo." Yeah, sure it was. Boss knows better and insists anyway because some typos cost six figures and a weekend. That asterisk is doing more heavy lifting than the entire CI/CD pipeline. One character difference between shipping features and shipping your career to the unemployment office.

Rejecting frontend work? Reasonable. Avoiding backend tasks? Understandable. But the weekend? That's the sacred runtime environment where all my personal processes finally execute without interruption. No standup meetings, no Jira tickets, just me and my neglected side projects that will definitely get finished this time. Definitely.
