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.

Ctrl+Z Not Found: The SQL Massacre

OH. MY. GOD. The absolute HORROR of running an SQL UPDATE without a WHERE clause! 😱 That moment when your stomach drops to the floor as you realize you've just modified 37,052 rows instead of the ONE you intended to change. And the worst part? There's no magical Ctrl+Z to save your career from this database apocalypse! Your face transitions from "I'm a database wizard" to "I should probably update my resume" faster than you can say "rollback transaction" (which you FORGOT to use, obviously). This is why database professionals drink heavily. 💀

It's Much Simpler On The Frontend

Behold the rare sighting of a backend developer attempting to write CSS! Nothing says "I'm out of my comfort zone" quite like physically pointing at the screen as if the styles might respond to intimidation tactics. This is the equivalent of a fish trying to climb a tree – technically possible, but painful to watch. The backend dev probably spent 3 hours just trying to center a div, only to give up and mutter something about "this is why we have frontend specialists" before crawling back to the safety of their database queries and API endpoints.
