It Just Works

Ah, the sacred trinity of IT problem-solving! The blue section is practically my résumé: "Have you tried turning it off and on again?" — works 60% of the time, every time. Then there's the red slice of desperation: frantically Googling error messages while pretending you totally knew what "ERR_SOCKET_NOT_CONNECTED" meant all along. But my personal favorite is the green slice — that magical moment when you walk up to a user's desk and suddenly everything works perfectly. They look at you like you're some kind of tech wizard, while you're just standing there thinking, "I literally did nothing." The IT placebo effect is the closest thing to actual sorcery in our profession.

When you start game development thinking "I'll just make a simple platformer" and suddenly realize you need to become an expert in physics, graphics, audio engineering, UI design, storytelling, optimization, and marketing all at once. The tweet perfectly captures that moment of existential dread when it hits you that making a game isn't just about coding the fun parts - it's about building an entire universe from scratch while your excitement flatlines faster than that game dev heartbeat monitor.

First panel: Kid wants a dragon for Christmas. Totally reasonable request. Second panel: Santa says "be realistic" because, you know, dragons don't exist (yet). Third panel: Kid switches to asking for "true concurrency without changing the existing design" - which is basically asking for a mythical creature in the programming world. It's like requesting to add multi-threading to legacy spaghetti code without touching a single line. Pure fantasy! Fourth panel: Santa's like "what color dragon do you want?" because suddenly a fire-breathing reptile seems WAY more achievable than refactoring for concurrency without breaking everything. The perfect metaphor for when your PM asks for the impossible and then wonders why you're laughing hysterically at your desk.
