The Observer Effect

performance-anxiety-memes, imposter-syndrome-memes, pair-programming-memes, code-review-memes, debugging-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

Normal programming: confident strides up the staircase. Programming with an audience: suddenly you forget how to type, what variables are, and whether semicolons even exist. It's like your brain decides to factory reset the moment someone peers over your shoulder. The curse of the observer effect in its purest form – quantum mechanics has nothing on the performance anxiety of live coding.

Git Push Force

When the junior dev runs git push --force and the entire codebase history gets obliterated. That exit sign is basically your team's sanity making a swift departure. Seven years of commit history? Gone. Just like those doors. This is why we have code reviews and branch protection rules, folks. Not because we don't trust you, but because we've all been that person who thought "yeah, I know what I'm doing" right before disaster struck.

Based On Personal Experience

The eternal struggle of being the "tech person" in the family. First you're desperately trying to explain that programming skills don't magically transfer to printer repair, then five seconds later you're elbow-deep in printer parts because—let's face it—you actually can fix it. Not because of any programming knowledge, but because you've developed the sacred debugging mindset after years of staring at error messages that might as well say "something's wrong lol good luck." The real programming skill is knowing how to Google the right question while maintaining the illusion that you're doing something complicated.
