Welcome To The Trial By Fire

First day on the job and already discovering the company's sacred tradition: figuring out proprietary tools through trial, error, and existential dread. Documentation? That's just a myth we tell children to help them sleep at night. The real onboarding process is being thrown into the deep end while your manager watches with that special gleam that says "I suffered, so shall you."

Average High-Salaried Programmer

Ah yes, the duality of tech compensation. Six-figure salary, sleeps on cardboard. The fancy ergonomic chair and RGB gaming PC suggest this dev can afford nice things... just not silly luxuries like "beds" or "plastered walls." Priorities straight as a binary digit. All money goes to the battlestation while living in what appears to be an abandoned storage closet. The true programmer lifestyle - where your computer has better living conditions than you do.

Justice For EU Residents!!!

That crushing moment when you discover an awesome software giveaway on r/pcmasterrace only to find the dreaded "US Residents Only" fine print. European devs get to build the software but can't win the free licenses. The digital equivalent of seeing a buffet through a restaurant window while starving. Next they'll tell us Stack Overflow karma can't be exchanged for healthcare either.

The Programmer's Public Nightmare

The ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE of being a programmer in public! One second you're innocently sliding down the playground, and BOOM—suddenly you're bombarded with tech support requests, million-dollar app ideas, and casual requests to commit federal crimes! 💀 The audacity of people thinking "programmer" means "free IT department, startup incubator, and hacker-for-hire" all rolled into one! Next time someone asks you to "just hack Facebook real quick," remember that prison orange is NOT your color, sweetie!
