Just Keep Coding, We'll Fix It Later

Content Anyone who ever schedules meetings with developers, please burn this image into your brain, thanks 9am 9:45 - 10:30 10am Don't want to get into anything because meeting is coming 10:30 - "Super Quick" Meeting 11am 11 - 11:45 Ramping back up after being distracted by meeting 12pm

Oh. My. GOD. The ABSOLUTE ROYALTY that is a C++ developer after shaving off a microscopic 100 nanoseconds from their code! 👑 They're strutting around like they're literal ARISTOCRACY while everyone else must bow to their optimization genius. Never mind that a nanosecond is one BILLIONTH of a second and no human could possibly perceive this difference. But darling, in the C++ world, those 100 nanoseconds might as well be an ETERNITY! The developer has now earned the right to look down upon the peasants who dare use interpreted languages. *dramatic hair flip*

The same energy as waiting for framework updates instead of using the stable version that works perfectly fine. My Steam library has 200+ games I've never installed because they were 90% off. What's another $4.99 for a game I'll "definitely play someday"? Meanwhile my IDE license renewal at full price? Absolute highway robbery.

Content My eyes on StackOverflow 8

Nothing triggers impostor syndrome quite like scrolling through GitHub and finding Luigi here with dual CS degrees from an Ivy League school, 3500 followers, and probably a contribution graph that looks like a Manhattan skyline. Meanwhile, you're still struggling to center a div and your most impressive achievement is fixing a bug by restarting your computer. The cherry on top? He's probably 22 and already has FAANG offers while you're surviving on Stack Overflow copypasta and praying nobody reviews your code too carefully. But hey, at least you know how to exit Vim... sometimes.

Nothing says "I value our friendship" like asking for help with undocumented code featuring variables like x1 , temp , and doTheThing() . That slow Kermit retreat is the physical manifestation of my soul leaving my body when I realize I'm about to waste 3 hours of my life deciphering someone's digital hieroglyphics. Pro tip: if you want help debugging, maybe name your variables something other than "stuff" and "idk" first.
