The #1 Programmer Excuse For Legitimately Slacking Off

Ah, the modern code review experience. You're just trying to implement a simple country access control function, and suddenly your IDE is giving you a moral lecture about your variable naming. The function is perfectly fine—it's checking if a country is in an allowed list—but apparently "whitelist" is now problematic terminology. Meanwhile, that null comparison using triple equals is the actual crime here, but the IDE is too busy being the language police to catch it. Next week: your compiler will refuse to run your code unless you've used gender-neutral variable names and commented with appropriate trigger warnings.

Remember that glorious day you got promoted to Senior Engineer? Your brain filled with visions of complex architecture designs, mentoring juniors, and making critical technical decisions. Then reality hit like a null pointer exception. Turns out "Senior" is just corporate code for "Professional Meeting Attendee." Your calendar transformed from blocks of focused coding time to an endless parade of standups, planning sessions, retrospectives, and those special meetings that could've been emails. The only code you write now is the occasional email response typed between back-to-back Zoom calls while desperately clinging to your coffee mug like it's the last working node in your cluster.

OMG, the absolute AUDACITY of this exchange! 😂 Someone innocently asks if SteamOS can be used as a regular operating system, and gets hit with the most devastating technical truth bomb: "No, it's Linux." Then another person comes along with "Yeah, it's just Linux" like they're casually confirming the Earth is round! HONEY, THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT! It's the perfect encapsulation of how Linux users simultaneously act like their OS is both special AND completely ordinary depending on which answer makes you feel more stupid. The duality is just *chef's kiss* MAGNIFICENT!
