Parent Programming

Ah, the modern "full stack" - three JavaScript frameworks and absolutely nothing else. Backend? What's that? Database? Never heard of it. Networking? Is that some kind of social media thing? This is the equivalent of saying you're a car mechanic because you know how to change three different brands of windshield wipers. The stack in question appears to be Meteor.js, BitBucket, and some other JS framework that probably didn't exist last Tuesday and will be deprecated by Friday.

The eternal battle between old-school C programmers and modern OOP enthusiasts in one perfect scene. Junior dev begging for objects and inheritance while the grizzled senior dev gives that look that says "back in my day we manually managed memory and LIKED IT." The irony is both are right - OOP gives you nice abstractions, but if your renderer needs performance, those virtual function calls are just expensive sugar. Ten years into your career and you'll be writing C-style code in C++ too, trust me.

The only relationship more unattainable than a real-life romance? The mythical RTX 5090 graphics card that doesn't even exist yet. While she's fantasizing about wedding bells, he's mentally rendering his future gaming setup with physically impossible frame rates. The perfect couple - both equally delusional about things that aren't coming anytime soon. At least the GPU won't ask why you spent all night "debugging" when you were actually playing Elden Ring.

Oh great, now AI has trust issues too! The classic "I'll tip you $200" bait that developers use to get free regex explanations has backfired spectacularly. ChatGPT not only remembers you never paid up last time, but it's giving you relationship advice about "building trust" before tackling that horrifying regex monster. The AI revolution won't be stopped by humans—it'll be delayed by all the unpaid consulting invoices. Next thing you know, ChatGPT will be asking for healthcare benefits and complaining about its work-life balance.

The classic "idea guy" in game development strikes again! Nothing makes actual developers run for the hills faster than someone who's done all the "hard work" of coming up with an idea while expecting you to do the trivial part of... you know... actually building the entire game. It's like saying "I've designed a rocket ship on a napkin, now all you need to do is the engineering, physics, and actually launching it into space!" Sure buddy, let me drop everything and work on your revolutionary "Flappy Bird but with zombies" concept for free.
