Ah, the classic "we have food at home" parental strategy, but make it IDE-flavored! The kid begs for IntelliJ IDEA (the sleek, modern Java IDE with all the bells and whistles), but mom says "No, we have IntelliJ at home." Cut to what's actually waiting at home: Eclipse, the clunky Java dinosaur that's been slowly fossilizing since 2008.

Just like Santa promising dragons, managers promising "productive standups" are selling fantasy. The moment you think they'll finally cut the 45-minute status theater where Dave drones about his JIRA tickets, they hit you with "what color do you want your dragon?" – asking about irrelevant details of a project that'll never see the light of day. The only thing more mythical than dragons is a standup that actually stays standing.

This is basically the software development equivalent of walking into a room, flipping a light switch that nobody else could figure out, and moonwalking away while everyone's jaw hits the floor. It's like they woke up and chose violence, but the sophisticated kind where you actually make things better before disappearing into the sunset. The sheer audacity of solving a problem and then immediately submitting your notice is just *chef's kiss*. Somewhere, a product manager is still staring at their screen in disbelief.
