The Ctrl+S Panic Disorder

That's not a white dot, that's Cursor AI sharing your plaintext password file with every hacker on the planet. Nothing says "security professional" like storing credentials in a CSV file named "passwords.csv" and then asking about UI elements while exposing it. Somewhere, a security engineer just felt a disturbance in the force and doesn't know why.

The absolute BETRAYAL captured in this single frame! Your work project is literally sitting right there, desperately trying to get your attention with its boring requirements and reasonable deadlines, but nope—you've already chosen violence. That side project? The one that'll probably never see the light of day? The todo app you're building for the 47th time using a framework that came out yesterday? Yeah, THAT'S your soulmate now. The work project can cry in legacy code while you're out here speedrunning your passion project at 2 AM with zero documentation and maximum vibes. The side project doesn't judge you, doesn't have standup meetings, and definitely doesn't need another Jira ticket. It's the forbidden romance of the developer world, and honestly? We're all guilty.

You know you've reached peak programmer enlightenment when someone asks you to "go deeper" and you're already writing raw machine code. Like, what's next? Flipping transistors by hand? Communicating directly with electrons using telepathy? For context: machine code is literally the lowest level you can go—it's pure binary instructions that the CPU executes directly. Below that is just physics and existential crisis. So when you're already at rock bottom and someone wants you to dig deeper, you might as well grab a shovel and start mining for silicon. The only way to go deeper from machine code is to become one with the hardware itself. Maybe start manually setting voltage levels on the motherboard? Or perhaps rewrite the laws of quantum mechanics? Good luck with that.
