Parents: "There's no shortcut in life."

Meanwhile, developers are just over here hammering Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, and StackOverflow like it's our job. Because it literally is. The entire tech industry runs on keyboard shortcuts and accumulated technical debt that future-you will definitely fix... someday... probably never.

Let's be honest, if we didn't take shortcuts, we'd still be writing assembly code on punch cards. Technical debt is just the price of admission for shipping on time.

Sideproject Always Comes First

Side project always comes first

This meme perfectly captures the programmer's paradox of productivity. On the left, we see a pathetic 6 commits for "important school projects" with barely any code changes. Meanwhile, the right panel shows a glorious explosion of 20 commits with over 41,591 additions and 21,039 deletions for some random side project that probably generates AI-powered memes of cats dressed as programmers. The brain's reward system is a treacherous ally - it finds school assignments boring but gets absolutely electrified when you decide to build that useless Discord bot at 3 AM. It's like our brains have a "procrastination optimization algorithm" that redirects all creative energy to the least important task with the highest dopamine payoff.
