The Four Horsemen Of Software Estimation

The four horsemen of software estimation, ladies and gentlemen. The noob's blind optimism, the junior's attempt at padding, the senior's refusal to commit, and the principal engineer's existential crisis. After 15 years in this industry, I've learned that the only accurate estimate is "it'll be done when it's done." And somehow management still expects us to plan quarterly roadmaps with precision. Magical thinking at its finest.

Sunday: The Developer's Day Of Rest And Regret

Parents: "Study hard or you'll be a failure!" Meanwhile, software developers on Sunday: *sprawled on the ground with a beer* living their best life while making six figures.

When your code finally deploys to production after 47 failed attempts, and now you're just waiting for the inevitable bug reports to roll in. The shirt says it all - Breaking Prod with chemical elements Br (Bromine) and Pr (Praseodymium) in the style of a certain TV show about chemistry. The pure joy on this developer's face is the exact opposite of how their manager will look in approximately 17 minutes.

Please Don't Tell Anyone How I Live

The transatlantic compensation gap hits different. American devs swimming in six-figure salaries, stock options, and enough perks to make a small nation jealous - represented by Homer as a bejeweled monarch. Meanwhile, European developers are eating ramen in their underwear, wondering if they should've just become baristas instead. The salary difference is so astronomical it's practically a different currency system - one measured in "yachts per quarter" versus "can I afford name-brand cereal this month?"
