Nothing says "haunted house" quite like a pumpkin threatening you with out-of-office messages until 10 PM. This is the home of a developer who's clearly given up on work-life balance and is now weaponizing their availability status as a Halloween decoration.

The scariest part? They're probably still checking Slack after 10 PM anyway. The pumpkin is lying and everyone knows it. Those "out of office" messages are just there to create plausible deniability while they frantically debug production issues at 11:47 PM on a Saturday.

Pro tip: If you see this pumpkin at someone's house, don't ring the doorbell. They're either in a Zoom meeting, deploying to prod, or having a mental breakdown about merge conflicts. Possibly all three simultaneously.
