The Last COBOL Developer Pic X(30)

Somewhere in Nebraska, a lone COBOL developer is literally holding up the digital world like Atlas himself. While tech bros brag about their microservices architecture, this unsung hero is silently preventing the financial apocalypse with code older than most developers' parents. Banks don't send thank you cards for averting economic collapse every Tuesday at 2 AM when the batch job mysteriously fails. The real infrastructure isn't in the cloud—it's in Nebraska, running on a language that uses "PIC X(30)" to define a string because it was cool in 1959.

The World's Most Efficient Decision Tree

The world's most efficient and accurate decision tree in computing history. While VCs throw millions at anything with "blockchain" in the pitch deck, actual engineers have known this truth for years. The 2025 update will just be the same diagram with "Do I need AI?" added, and spoiler alert - the answer is also "No." Unless you're selling to people who don't understand technology but control the budget.

Dev Vs Prod: A Tale Of Two Environments

The eternal lie we tell ourselves: "It works on my machine!" Left side: Your code running on localhost - a magnificent beast with muscles that could bench press a server rack. Status 200, everything's perfect, and you're basically a coding god. Right side: The same exact code after deployment - a pathetic, malnourished doggo surrounded by CORS errors, cookie sharing issues, and bad requests. Suddenly your beautiful creation is about as functional as a chocolate teapot. The production environment: where developer confidence goes to die and debugging nightmares begin. But hey, at least it worked in development!

Create A Strong Password

Google: "Create a strong password with a mix of letters, numbers and symbols" Me: *types "ChuckNorris"* Google: "Password is too strong" That's not a bug, it's a feature! Chuck Norris doesn't need special characters—he IS the special character. Password strength meters just surrender when they encounter his name. The system isn't broken; it's just acknowledging that no hacker would dare attempt to breach an account protected by the roundhouse kick of passwords.
