Back in the 60s, programmers were literally PUNCHING CODE into cards by hand! 🤯 The person in the image is holding up punch cards with the caption "COMPILERS TOOK MY JOB" - it's basically the original "robots are stealing our jobs" but for coding! Before compilers existed, humans had to manually convert code into machine-readable formats. Then BAM! Compilers showed up and were like "I got this" and an entire profession vanished faster than free pizza at a hackathon! Those punch card operators never saw it coming!

I Am The Survival: Working Under Pressure

The classic interview trap: "Can you work under pressure?" Sure, you say with a smile, blissfully unaware of the apocalyptic codebase awaiting you. Fast-forward three months and you're a shell of your former self, surviving on caffeine and Stack Overflow prayers, debugging legacy code written by someone who clearly hated humanity. The transformation from optimistic candidate to battle-scarred veteran is complete. Your IDE has seen things no debugger should ever witness.

The Most Epic Hotfix In The Universe

NASA engineers just performed a remote firmware update on a 46-year-old spacecraft 15 billion miles away with a 45-hour round-trip latency. Meanwhile, I have to restart my IDE three times to get syntax highlighting working properly. The comment about it being "the most epic hotfix direct to production ever" is pure gold—imagine pushing code straight to prod when your rollback plan involves a 45-hour wait to see if it worked. That's not continuous deployment, that's interstellar deployment.
