Developer presents a straightforward test case for calculating the area of a square. Management immediately pivots to TDD philosophy and decides they're actually in the circle business instead. Nothing says "agile decision-making" quite like rejecting a perfectly reasonable test case because your product suddenly doesn't align with the geometric shape you're testing. The presenter is explaining basic unit testing while the executives are having an existential crisis about whether they make software for circles or squares. The real kicker? They're so confident about this completely irrelevant distinction that they're making critical architectural decisions based on... shapes. Tomorrow they'll probably pivot to triangles after the morning standup.

The evolution of tech vocabulary is brutal! Back in the day, we had precise terminology like "application," "program," and "operating system." Now? Everything's just an "app." Need to compile code? There's an app for that. Running a critical system daemon? Just another app, bro. Even your meticulously crafted shell scripts? Yep, apps. It's like watching your carefully organized toolbox get dumped into a single drawer labeled "stuff that does things." The smug face in the corner is every marketing department that successfully convinced us precision is overrated. Who needs technical accuracy when you can have simplicity?

OH. MY. GOD. The AUDACITY of this C programmer flexing their ability to write "Hello World" without including the standard I/O library! 😱 For the uninitiated peasants: in C programming, #include <stdio.h> is basically THE library you need to do basic input/output operations like printing text. Writing code without it is like showing up to a gunfight with a homemade slingshot that YOU BUILT FROM SCRATCH. The other fish is just DESTROYED by this flex. Absolutely annihilated. This is the programming equivalent of someone casually mentioning they climbed Everest "on their lunch break." Pure savagery in the C programming world!
