This meme perfectly captures the existential crisis of being a software engineer. Your boss thinks you're just sipping coffee all day (clearly they've never seen your 3 AM debugging sessions). Your friends imagine you're living the dream with gaming and foosball breaks (ha, if only). Mom still thinks you're some kind of computer repair wizard (bless her heart). But the reality? You're just a pasta chef, frantically trying to untangle spaghetti code that someone else wrote five years ago with zero documentation. The irony of calling yourself an "engineer" while spending 90% of your time wondering why adding a semicolon fixed everything is just *chef's kiss*. The pasta metaphor is painfully accurate - both require hours of preparation, both get messy quickly, and both leave you questioning your life choices at 2 AM.
