The infamous literal interpretation strikes again! When asked "Can you call me a taxi at 7am tomorrow?", Dad responds with "You're a taxi" at exactly 7:00. Classic case of parsing the request as a string rather than understanding the intent—just like when you ask a junior dev to "make the button blue" and they change the text color instead of the background. This is basically what happens when humans run on strict syntax rules without semantic understanding. No wonder QA departments exist.

All True

The brutal truth of an IT career visualized in one devastating graph. Your desire to BE in IT? Plummeting faster than a production server at 5 PM on Friday. Meanwhile, the number of idiots you have to deal with? Exponentially skyrocketing like it's trying to reach escape velocity. The excuses for bugs? Growing steadily because apparently "it works on my machine" is a personality trait now. Credit from your manager? Flatter than a pancake, basically nonexistent. Stress levels? Climbing those stairs to burnout city, one sprint at a time. And the pièce de résistance: your desire to LEAVE IT shoots up exponentially like a hockey stick graph, threatening to break through the ceiling. The only thing that stays consistently low is managerial credit—because why acknowledge the people who actually keep the lights on?
