Put It Back Now

The time dilation joke hits harder than a production outage on Friday afternoon! This scene from Interstellar perfectly captures the absurdity of job requirements in tech. Companies casually asking for "5+ years experience" in technologies that have existed for 3 years, while junior devs need to somehow accumulate decades of experience just to get their foot in the door. The cosmic irony is that even if you traveled to a planet where time moves differently and somehow aged your GitHub contributions by 7 years, HR would still ask, "But do you have experience with our proprietary in-house framework that nobody else uses?"

The sacred commandment of tech support, embodied in physical form. That network switch has clearly been through several apocalypses, covered in dust, cobwebs, and what might be the remnants of ancient civilizations. Yet somehow, against all odds, those tangled Ethernet cables are still delivering packets. This is the production environment equivalent of balancing your entire infrastructure on a house of cards built by an intern who left six years ago. No documentation, no backups, just a prayer and that one guy who refuses to take vacations because "the system might notice he's gone." Cleaning it would be the responsible thing to do. Replacing it would be the correct thing to do. But touching it? That's how you become the person who took down the entire company because "it was dusty."
