The Original Tech Support Trick From 1983

The classic "have you tried turning it off and on again" tech support trick dates back to the Jurassic period of computing! When a developer loses their cursor in 1983, they immediately resort to the oldest trick in the book—faking a hardware problem and suggesting a reboot. The best part? It actually works, and the comic perfectly captures that smug satisfaction when your BS technical explanation saves the day. Some programmer traditions never die, they just get faster processors.

The C++ To Anime Pipeline

Nothing transforms a grizzled C++ veteran quite like discovering Bjarne Stroustrup's book has an anime girl on the cover. The pipeline from memory management hell to waifu wonderland is shorter than you'd think. Ten years of fighting segfaults and undefined behavior, only to be lured into the light by cute anime characters. The beard-to-catgirl pipeline is real, folks. The ultimate C++ optimization isn't move semantics—it's moving to a completely different aesthetic.

Run An EC2 For 5 Mins And Win

The SRE just found the ultimate money hack. AWS is basically a financial black hole where your cloud budget goes to die. Launch a few over-provisioned instances, forget about that auto-scaling group for a weekend, or accidentally deploy to all regions simultaneously, and boom—you've burned through $100M faster than you can say "terraform destroy." The genie adding a fourth rule is just acknowledging the universal truth that AWS billing is basically legalized theft with a nice dashboard.
