The Business Engineering Betrayal

A Venn diagram that hits way too close to home. Engineers are never available, have infinite ego, and will loudly proclaim your project will take 2 weeks (spoiler: it won't). Meanwhile, AI is always there, responds instantly, and lies about taking just 1 minute instead. The overlap is the best part though - both are wildly overconfident about untested code and need extremely specific instructions that they'll promptly ignore anyway. It's basically choosing between a ghost that silently crashes your system or a human who'll blame you for not understanding their "vision." Welcome to the future, where your options are invisible tech debt or premature optimization. Pick your poison.

The skeleton weightlifter meme perfectly captures the software development lifecycle under ambiguous specs. Your body (the dev team) starts with optimistic strength, ready to build something amazing, but those "vague product requirements" are the real gains-killer. Without clear specs, even the most talented engineers transform robust architecture into spaghetti code faster than you can say "scope creep." The skeleton represents what's left of your sanity after the fifth pivot in requirements this sprint. No wonder sharing this in company Slack requires bravery—product managers might recognize themselves!

Ah, the classic "accidental programming genius" moment. Son spends 8 hours creating a Frankenstein's monster of Stack Overflow snippets, and Dad swoops in with the programming equivalent of "have you tried turning it off and on again?" The sheer dumb luck of suggesting an integer instead of float and watching it magically work is the digital version of hitting the TV to fix the reception. The best part? Dad has absolutely no idea why it worked either.
