The infinite hamster wheel of tech addiction! We grind away at our keyboards to fund that shiny new mechanical keyboard with RGB lighting that will somehow make us 0.002% more productive. Then we need a faster PC to handle the keyboard's software. Then a better monitor to appreciate the PC. Then a standing desk for "health reasons." And suddenly we're working 60-hour weeks to pay off the ergonomic chair we bought because we're working 60-hour weeks. It's basically tech Stockholm syndrome with a side of capitalism.

The eternal struggle of every developer who's been in the trenches long enough. Sure, some folks keep their code private because it's their golden goose—fair enough, capitalism and all that. But some of us? We're just hiding the digital equivalent of duct tape and prayers that somehow passes code review. The real 10x engineers aren't the ones with proprietary algorithms; they're the ones brave enough to let the world see their 3 AM solutions with variable names like 'temp2', 'finalFinalActuallyFinal', and comments that just say 'TODO: fix this garbage later'.

The eternal developer job-hopping cycle, perfectly captured! First, the shock of realizing your CV is just a collection of 2-year stints at different companies. Then the moment of clarity when filling out those "anonymous" exit surveys where you finally unleash your true feelings about management, legacy code, and that one person who microwaves fish in the office kitchen. The irony? HR knows exactly who submitted that scathing feedback, yet we all pretend it's actually anonymous. It's the tech industry's worst-kept secret – we don't quit companies, we quit dysfunctional environments... and then document them in gloriously "anonymous" detail.
