The Reluctant Tech Support Hero

The eternal paradox of being a programmer: telling people you can't fix their printer, then fixing it anyway because of course you can. It's like saying you're not a doctor while performing open-heart surgery with a Swiss Army knife.

Cut to reality: 10 HOURS LATER and they're both emotionally destroyed. The dev is screaming in existential horror while the PM has finally realized why the last three developers quit. That ancient codebase isn't just bad - it's an eldritch horror wrapped in duct tape and prayers that somehow still runs production!
