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.

Not Using Semi Colon Will Optimize Your Code

The ultimate rejection in programming language romance! She's desperately pleading to be the semicolon in his code, only to have her syntax dreams crushed by his nonchalant "I code in Python" response. Python programmers smugly living that whitespace-structured life while JavaScript and C++ developers frantically hunt for missing semicolons that crash their entire codebase. It's like bringing flowers to someone who's allergic - your semicolons have no power here!

The Project Graveyard Phenomenon

Ah, the project graveyard – where dreams go to hibernate indefinitely. That folder structure on the right isn't just storage, it's a memorial to our collective optimism. We all start with "JUST MAKE IT EXIST FIRST" – that beautiful cyan circle of possibility – convinced this time we'll finish what we started. Then reality kicks in. That 3D spaceship model? That game engine experiment? That revolutionary app idea? All neatly tucked away in folders, waiting for the mythical "when I have time" that never arrives. The true skill isn't starting projects – it's finishing one before getting seduced by the next shiny idea. Meanwhile, our hard drives become digital museums of what-could-have-been.
