The IT Guy Curse Is Real

The IT Guy Curse Is Real

You know you've made it in tech when your family treats you like a walking tech support hotline. Relatives casually asking "Aren't you a programmer?" gets a polite "Yes." But the moment someone needs their printer fixed or wants to break into Mark Zuckerberg's account, suddenly you're Usain Bolt at the Olympics.

The best part? They think programming = hacking Facebook = fixing their virus-riddled laptop from 2009. Meanwhile, you're a backend developer who hasn't touched Windows in 5 years and wouldn't know how to "hack Facebook" if your life depended on it. But try explaining that at Thanksgiving dinner.

Pro tip: Next time just tell them you only code in Haskell and watch their eyes glaze over. Problem solved.
