It Is Tired Of Our Bullshit

The eternal struggle of process management in operating systems, summarized in silverware. When you desperately need to duplicate a running process, the OS just gives you a fork() — which is both literally the perfect tool and absolutely useless at the same time. Sure, it creates a child process, but now you've got two nearly identical processes and twice the existential dread. Ten years of systems programming and I still can't decide if this is brilliant design or the universe's cruelest joke.

The horrified expression of the Senior Developer looking at the Junior Dev's code is priceless! That moment when you ask what's in their codebase and they casually reply "A smoothie" while sitting next to a monstrosity of deeply nested if statements is peak software engineering trauma. It's like opening someone's function and finding a 12-level deep conditional hell where each branch leads to another dimension of logic spaghetti. The Junior Dev has no idea they've created an eldritch horror that will summon the debugging gods at 2AM during production. Meanwhile, the ostrich perfectly represents the code review process - just stick your head in the sand and pretend you didn't see those 17 nested conditionals that could be replaced with a simple switch statement!

The eternal suffering of forgetting to add break statements in switch cases. The code just keeps on executing through every subsequent case like it's on a mission to ruin your day. And then you spend three hours debugging why your function is returning seventeen different values when it should only return one. The worst part? The compiler sits there silently judging you instead of throwing a warning. Thanks for nothing, compiler.

Nothing quite captures the murderous rage of losing an hour of unsaved work like this. "It'll be easier the second time" is the corporate equivalent of "the beatings will continue until morale improves." Sure, I'll just recreate that perfect code I wrote from memory—right after I finish plotting my revenge against whoever designed this VPN connection. The only thing "easier" the second time is knowing exactly how many expletives fit into a 60-second rant.
