It's Just A Little Thing

The eternal programmer's curse: zero-indexing strikes again! This poor guy shows up at Table 00 thinking he's at the "1st table" because programmers start counting at 0. Meanwhile, his date is at Table 01 (what normal humans call "the first table"). This is why programmers stay single. We can build entire digital worlds but can't figure out how humans number restaurant tables. And they wonder why we need detailed requirements documents...

This is what happens when you outsource your IT department to the lowest bidder. The classic "we're working VERY HARD on your issue" while the tech team is literally just kittens playing inside your computer. No wonder your ticket has been "in progress" for three weeks! Those adorable little troubleshooters are probably chewing on your RAM while management assures you they've got their "best people" on it. Next time your computer crashes, just check if it's a hairball in the CPU fan rather than a memory leak.

The eternal battle between old-school C programmers and modern OOP enthusiasts in one perfect scene. Junior dev begging for objects and inheritance while the grizzled senior dev gives that look that says "back in my day we manually managed memory and LIKED IT." The irony is both are right - OOP gives you nice abstractions, but if your renderer needs performance, those virtual function calls are just expensive sugar. Ten years into your career and you'll be writing C-style code in C++ too, trust me.

The eternal paradox of our craft in one perfect sign. Spent six years getting a CS degree just to stare at code that worked yesterday but doesn't today because Mercury is in retrograde or something. The best part? That magical moment when you remove a line of code to see if it breaks things, it doesn't, but you're too afraid to delete it permanently because the programming gods are fickle and vengeful. The only field where impostor syndrome is actually the correct diagnosis.
