Lies, I Was Promised Lies

The greatest bait-and-switch in history wasn't cryptocurrency—it was the programming career brochure. They showed us glamorous people in sleek environments writing elegant code, but forgot to mention the reality: unwashed hair, Mountain Dew at 3 AM, and debugging someone else's spaghetti code while questioning your life choices. The only six-pack in programming is the energy drinks keeping your bloodstream caffeinated enough to find that missing semicolon. Universities really should be sued for false advertising!

What Are The Chances

First panel: Code compiles perfectly with no errors or warnings. Pure bliss! A mythical unicorn moment! Second panel: "Let me just recompile without changing anything to make sure it wasn't a glitch in the Matrix..." Third panel: Suddenly 8,191 errors and 16,383 warnings appear. Classic. Fourth panel: Programmer's soul leaves body. The compiler is basically gaslighting you. "It worked? That must be a mistake, let me fix that for you." Schrödinger's code - simultaneously working and catastrophically broken until you dare to observe it twice.

Content How much would it cost to rent out an entire Apple store for a wedding? Discussion My fianc (25F) and I (47M) are lovers of all things Apple. We have only Mac laptops and desktops, only watches we own are Apple watches and have only used iPhones since 2007. We are wanting to get married in an Apple store somewhere near us, closest being Chicago. Does anyone know how much it would cost to rent out an entire Apple store for the entire weekend? We would have the rehearsal, rehearsal dinner and then wedding ceremony and wedding reception. We are thinking a full 3 course meal served by the geniuses themselves. Any information would be great. Thank you.

When Your Code Is Too Efficient For Your Own Good

When your automation skills backfire spectacularly! Left guy is living it up, bragging about flirting with the secretary. Meanwhile, right guy is having an existential crisis because he accidentally automated her job away. The ultimate programmer's irony—building something so good you eliminate your own office crush. Next time maybe leave some manual processes intact for the sake of your social life!

The Real Reason You'll Finally Upgrade

The double whammy of tech obsolescence. First panel: Microsoft announcing Windows 10 EOL (End of Life) in October? Meh, whatever. Second panel: Steam potentially killing game compatibility on Windows 10 just like they did with Windows 7? Now you have my attention! It's the classic tech cycle - not the official EOL that forces upgrades, but when your games stop working. Twenty years in the industry and the only constant is companies finding new ways to make your perfectly functional setup obsolete. Death, taxes, and forced OS upgrades - the holy trinity of inevitable pain.
