More People Can't Always Deliver Faster

The classic project management fallacy, illustrated with surgical precision. Just because nine women can't deliver a baby in one month doesn't stop project managers from thinking nine developers can deliver a project nine times faster. It's the same energy as believing you can dig a hole faster by hiring people who've never seen a shovel. Brooks' Law sends its regards - adding more people to a late project just makes it later. Next up: Project Manager discovers that two pizzas don't feed twenty people in half the time!

The Great Career Escape Paradox

The grass is always greener on the other side of the keyboard! While baristas are grinding through coding bootcamps hoping for six-figure salaries and remote work, developers are fantasizing about escaping Jira tickets to craft perfect lattes in their hipster cafés. It's the ultimate career paradox - everyone wants to escape what they're doing. Baristas think coding is glamorous freedom, while developers know the truth: trading one type of customer ticket for another, just with more Stack Overflow searches and existential dread. Somewhere, a developer is writing a coffee shop management app while daydreaming about using it in their future café. The irony is delicious - almost as delicious as that fantasy flat white they'll never get to make.

The Emotional Rollercoaster Of Game Engine Crashes

OH. MY. GOD. The absolute emotional ROLLERCOASTER of game development software freezing! 😱 First panel: pure PANIC as your precious 3D software decides to ghost you harder than your ex. Second panel: that agonizing purgatory where you're frantically praying to the digital gods while watching the loading dots... "please don't crash, PLEASE DON'T CRASH!" And finally, that sweet, SWEET relief when it responds again and you realize your unsaved work might actually survive. The emotional whiplash is CRIMINAL! Game devs deserve hazard pay for this psychological torture alone! 💀
