Jira placed their "Big ideas start with Jira" ad on a bathroom stall toilet paper holder. You know, that thing you reach for when you're in your most vulnerable state. The genius here is twofold: first, they're literally catching you at a moment when you can't escape (captive audience strategy at its finest). Second, there's the unspoken truth that many developers have their best ideas while sitting on the throne—it's basically a meditation chamber for engineers. But the real comedy gold? Jira is the tool that turns those "big ideas" into an endless labyrinth of tickets, story points, sprint planning meetings, and blocked dependencies. So they're essentially advertising at the exact location where you'll be contemplating your life choices after your "big idea" gets split into 47 subtasks across 6 epics. The irony is chef's kiss: positioning themselves where ideas flow freely, knowing full well they're the corporate machinery that will bureaucratize those ideas into oblivion. Marketing perfection indeed.

Nodding along in code reviews while secretly thinking "I have no idea what this person is talking about." The classic 3 AM programmer vibe - bloodshot eyes, RGB keyboard glowing like a Christmas tree, and that special kind of exhaustion where you'll agree with literally anything just to end the conversation. The shirt and mug are just backup for when your brain fails and all you can muster is "You're absolutely right!" Meanwhile, the judgy cat in the window is all of us watching ourselves slowly descend into coding madness. The cigarette is just *chef's kiss* - because nothing says "I've given up on clean code" quite like contemplating your life choices at midnight.

Touch CSS once and your entire website transforms into a blurry Pikachu with its face melting off. The classic "I'll just change this one padding value" followed by your layout collapsing like a house of cards built by a caffeinated toddler. Frontend developers know that CSS stands for "Constantly Screaming Silently" when that one tiny tweak somehow breaks everything across 17 different screen sizes.

The eternal struggle between documentation and developers. Rey desperately offers "the docs" while Luke Skywalker, representing the average developer, stands on his cliff dramatically gesturing "no thanks." Because why read instructions when you can spend 6 hours implementing a solution that already exists in paragraph 2 of the README?
