The ultimate video compression algorithm! This dev created a function that identifies and removes "unnecessary" frames from movies—and apparently decided that 99.9999% of Fast & Furious is just excessive explosion footage. The algorithm is technically correct (the best kind of correct)—if you strip out everything except the plot, you're left with approximately 0.042 seconds of content. Reminds me of that time I optimized our codebase by deleting all the comments, whitespace, error handling, and user interface. Ship it!

Oh. My. GOD. The FANTASY of a bug-free existence! 😭 Imagine sleeping peacefully in a field instead of staying up until 4AM frantically Googling "why is my code possessed by demons?" The sheer AUDACITY of this meme suggesting we could actually REST if our code worked the first time! Sweetie, I haven't known peace since I wrote my first "Hello World" program. My relationship status? "It's complicated" with Stack Overflow and "desperately dependent" on console.log(). In this alternate universe without bugs, I'd probably remember what sunlight feels like instead of the harsh blue glow of my IDE highlighting 47 syntax errors!

The classic programmer hustle - convincing parents that you need a $2000 MacBook Pro to "learn coding" when a $300 Chromebook would do just fine. But hey, those compilation times are critical for your "Hello World" programs, right? The endless cycle of requesting hardware upgrades is practically a rite of passage for young devs. Parents eventually catch on that you're mostly using that 32GB RAM to have 97 Chrome tabs open while occasionally tweaking CSS. But they love you anyway, bless their financially drained hearts.
