Sorry Mom, I'm Dating My JSON Parser

Mom's text arrives just as our hero is deep in the functional programming rabbit hole, writing a JSON parser in Haskell with only 111 lines of code. Dating? Relationships? Sorry Mom, I'm currently in a committed relationship with monads and type safety. The irony is perfect - while Mom hopes for grandchildren, this developer is giving birth to elegant parsing algorithms instead. Who needs romance when you can spend your evenings with curried functions that never complain about your coding habits?

The Ultimate Release Date Collision Course

Ah, the classic "scheduling your game release on the same day as Hollow Knight: Silksong" strategy. Bold move, Riddlebit Software, bold move. Nothing says "I believe in my product" quite like launching it directly into the shadow of one of the most anticipated indie games of all time. It's like scheduling your wedding on the same day as the Super Bowl and wondering why attendance is a bit sparse. I'm sure JETRUNNER will be fine though—just like how the Titanic was "fine" until it met that iceberg. September 4, 2025: The day thousands of indie devs collectively whispered, "Oh no."

Y10K: Not My Problem

The cosmic joke of technical debt strikes again! This meme references the infamous Y2K problem's big brother—the Y10K issue. Back in the 90s, everyone scrambled to fix 2-digit year fields before Y2K. Now imagine future devs in year 9999 discovering that nobody bothered to make systems compatible with 5-digit years. The exhausted, dead-inside expression perfectly captures that moment when you realize your predecessors kicked the can 8,000 years down the road, and now you're the poor soul who has to refactor the entire galaxy's codebase. Classic "not my problem" engineering mentality coming back to haunt humanity. Future generations, I apologize for our 4-digit year variables. We were too busy arguing about tabs vs. spaces to think that far ahead.
