The Programmer's First Paycheck

PLOT TWIST OF THE CENTURY! Just when you think it's a heartwarming success story about finally cashing in on those coding skills, BAM! The punchline hits harder than a production bug on a Friday afternoon! Turns out our hero's "programming income" came from literally SELLING THE TOOL NEEDED TO PROGRAM! It's the coding equivalent of selling your car to pay for gas! The financial desperation is so real I can practically smell the instant ramen from here!
