"Are you fucking kidding me I worked in a reagrent shop for a few years I don't trust any of that stuff. Who the hell knows what other components are in the ashes." Yeah I was in the circle that made Alston's Divine Circle of Teleportation. There's some pretty nasty corner cases you can get into but the headmaster published it without us. I just take ships. It's way safer." "I call bullshit on that Necromancer channeling spirits of loved ones. What did he say he was using? 'Medium Conduit Ruinic Circles'? That's just a bunch of buzzwords slapped together, and they don't even interact with each other." "I've been looking at this scroll all morning and I'm 90 sure that the scribe didn't even look at the standard for pyromancies." digitaldiscipline "Help Desk, this is Gloriline, what did you fuck up this time?" indistinct vocals "Dave, l've seen the news, and, frankly, I can see the ash cloud from here. You paid for extended support, not enabling support." purewriting "I can't get this fucking spell to work, Jane, can you look it?" passes a scroll a few moments of silence "I think you missed a bookend rune right here-" "GODS DAMN IT! IT'S ALWAYS SHIT LIKE THAT! THANK YOU!" angrily scribbles on parchment (It takes five more aggravatingly tiny adjustments before the spell works) crazy-pages don't play wizards anymore because they're too much like my day job. drackir Instead of a orb the wizard has a little statue of a duck he tells his spells to and then swears when he spots the obvious mistake. beachfox You beat me to it! I was going to add that the reason why wizards and witches always have familiars around is so they can Rubber Duck at them until they realize what the mistake with their spell is! Outsiders get it wrong and figure the familiars are somehow teaching spells to their owners, but no. It's just explaining to Firewing what you're trying to do with this teleportation matrix until you realize that you've been using telepathy crystals to power it the whole time like a FUCKING IDIOT! 53,471 notes g ProdrammerHumor.io

Ah, the classic "it works but I have no idea how" scenario! The bird drawings perfectly capture the chaos of software development. You start with a well-designed bird (your initial clean code), then it gets progressively more abstract yet somehow still flies (functions). Every developer has experienced that moment when your code resembles the bottom-left bird - a tangled mess of spaghetti logic, nested if-statements, and emergency patches - yet somehow it still performs its core function like the bird on the bottom-right. The true horror isn't that it works despite looking like a nightmare - it's that nobody dares refactor it because it might stop working altogether! Ship it to production anyway!

Nothing teaches you like a production server on fire at 2 AM. That tiny stack of theory books? That's your CS degree. The practice pile? That's your first year on the job. But that towering monument of green books? That's the knowledge you've gained by accidentally dropping the production database, pushing to main on Friday, or forgetting that arrays start at zero for the 500th time. The most valuable developer skills aren't taught in bootcamps—they're forged in the flames of catastrophic failure. My resume says "10 years of experience" but it should really say "10 years of increasingly spectacular mistakes."
