The Impostor Syndrome

OMG, the CRUSHING REALITY of tech jobs in four tiny panels! 😭 First day: you're dragging a BOULDER of responsibilities while sweating buckets. Then the team lead introduces the shiny new hire who's all "excited for opportunities" while you're LITERALLY DYING. They promise the newbie will "help with your load" and what happens? Now you're BOTH crushed under separate boulders! The tech industry doesn't distribute workload—it just finds more rocks to drop on innocent developers! The circle of suffering continues, and the only thing getting lighter is your will to live! Welcome to software engineering, where your reward for hard work is... MORE HARD WORK!

You Son Of A Gun

The ultimate power trip doesn't exist in chess—it exists on Stack Overflow. That smug little smirk says it all: "Actually, your approach is completely wrong and shows a fundamental misunderstanding of basic principles that I mastered during my lunch break in 2011." Nothing quite matches the high of demolishing someone's simple question with an unnecessarily complex answer sprinkled with links to documentation they should have "obviously" read. Bonus points for starting with "As others have pointed out incorrectly..." before proceeding to write a dissertation that could've been a three-word reply.

You ask a game dev "Can the player summon a giant demon that bursts from the ground in an explosion of lava?" and they'll say "sure, that's easy" and then you'll ask "can the player wear a scarf?" and they'll go "oof" 8:28 PM 112422 Twitter for iPhone

Recipe For Disaster

Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should . This code is the programming equivalent of naming your twins "Twin1" and "Twin2" then wondering why they need therapy. Using keywords as variable names, declaring const const , setting 5 = 4 , and claiming 2 + 2 === 5 is true? This isn't just cursed code—it's the kind of abomination that makes senior devs wake up in cold sweats. Future maintainers will hunt you down. Not to ask questions, but for revenge.

I Was About To Have Lunch

What was supposed to be a quick 15-minute stand-up turned into a three-hour debugging nightmare, and now you're staring into the void questioning your entire existence. You walked in thinking "I'll grab lunch right after this," but emerged a different person, with different needs, in what feels like a different timeline. The time-space continuum gets real fuzzy when someone says "wait, I think I found the issue" for the 17th time.
