Isn't That Right

The classic PM-to-developer exchange: "Hey, we need this feature done asap, can you work over the weekend?" followed by the developer's response—a person in Windows 95 merch giving a thumbs up that screams "absolutely not" in every possible way. Nothing says "your poor planning isn't my emergency" quite like a passive-aggressive thumbs up from someone who's already mentally logged off until Monday. The ancient art of appearing supportive while silently updating your resume.

Academia burnout hits different depending on your options. Left side: monetize existing assets. Right side: transform into Heisenberg from Breaking Bad because those student loans aren't going to pay themselves off with a regular job. After years of fixing other people's broken code for free, you either start an OnlyFans or cook meth. Both involve chemistry—one's just more explosive than the other. The real lesson? Debugging other people's spaghetti code for three semesters will absolutely break your moral compass. Suddenly "I am the one who knocks" makes perfect sense when you've seen what people do with nested ternary operators.

Ten people standing around watching one developer dig a hole. Classic enterprise development in its natural habitat. The lone coder does all the actual work while a small army of managers, architects, and stakeholders provide their essential service of... standing there. Adding another solutions architect would definitely fix that sprint backlog. Maybe they can architect a solution for how to hold a shovel.

First panel: Clippy's annoying cousin "Google Meet Assistant" pops up with those dead, soulless eyes asking if you need help analyzing your meeting for the 47th time. Second panel: You frantically close it, thinking you've finally escaped. Third panel: But wait! The AI assistants are multiplying like gremlins fed after midnight. They're everywhere now, asking if you want to "summarize this," "analyze that," or "improve your productivity" while you just want to end the damn call and go make coffee. The digital equivalent of someone asking "how's it going?" when you have headphones on and are clearly trying to avoid human interaction.
