Surprise Senior: The Accidental Promotion

Congratulations on your instant promotion! Nothing says "I'm ready for this responsibility" like clutching your coffee with the thousand-yard stare of someone who just inherited 200,000 lines of undocumented legacy code. One day you're asking questions, the next day you're the oracle everyone turns to. "But I just figured out where the config files are..." Too late, friend. Time to grow that beard and develop a caffeine tolerance that would kill a small horse.

It's All Math? Always Has Been

OH MY GOD, the EXISTENTIAL CRISIS every CS student faces when they realize their degree is basically just fancy math with extra steps! 😱 You sign up thinking you'll be hacking mainframes and creating the next Facebook, but SURPRISE! It's just calculus and discrete mathematics wearing a trench coat! The cosmic horror of discovering that the cool programming career you dreamed of is actually built on a foundation of mathematical theorems that have been stalking you since high school. And honey, that astronaut with the gun? That's just the senior developers who've accepted this traumatic truth years ago. They're not even sorry about it!

How Software Projects Are Managed

Ah, the classic "set the deadline before checking if it's possible" approach. Nothing quite captures the essence of software project management like planning a wedding before you've even had a first date. Just imagine your PM announcing to stakeholders: "We'll deliver this revolutionary AI system by Q3!" meanwhile the dev team is still figuring out how to center a div. The complete disregard for reality is almost impressive. Next time your boss promises impossible deadlines, just remember - at least they're consistent with their personal life planning too.
