When 'Quick Question' Turns Into A Full System Redesign

Oh sweet heavens, the AUDACITY of that innocent "quick question" that morphs into the NIGHTMARE of rebuilding the entire codebase from scratch! 😱 One minute you're happily sipping coffee, the next you're questioning every architectural decision you've made since 2015. Meanwhile, your brain is frantically running through all possible escape routes like a hamster on espresso. "Should I fake a power outage? Develop sudden amnesia? Or just silently contemplate how I ended up here while my soul leaves my body?" The existential crisis is REAL, folks!

First Time Using Electron

Expectation: "Lightweight and performant, just the way I like it." *smiles in Mr. Incredible* Reality: *horrified face* as your "simple" app balloons from 25MB to a monstrous 739MB. Nothing says "modern web development" quite like shipping an entire Chrome browser with your calculator app. Your 2GB RAM laptop is sweating nervously in the corner while you explain to users that your "lightweight" app just needs a quick 800MB download. But hey, at least it's cross-platform!

I Found How Bug And Feature Look Like

Same insect, different suit. The corporate transformation from "we screwed up" to "we meant to do that" is the oldest trick in software development. Just slap a business shirt on that bug, call it an "undocumented feature," and suddenly you're a visionary instead of someone who forgot to check their edge cases. The marketing department thanks you for your service.

The Tech Support Nightmare

The eternal tech support nightmare captured in six panels. Non-technical person asks if you're "good with computers," then immediately demands impossible magic like putting MP3s in a watch and talk radio with Frank Sinatra. When you try explaining the technical limitations, they just scream "DRAG AND DROP! DRAG AND DROP!" as if that's the universal solution to all computing problems. The perfect encapsulation of why programmers develop eye twitches when relatives call for "quick computer help."

The Side Project Emotional Rollercoaster

The eternal cycle of side project enthusiasm. Top panel: Day 1, euphoric excitement, telling everyone how revolutionary your idea is and how you'll finish it in a weekend. Bottom panel: Day 3, staring blankly at your terminal as you realize you've created an unholy abomination of dependencies that would make Cthulhu weep. That API key commit to main branch? Chef's kiss of despair. The only thing growing faster than your git commit messages is your collection of Stack Overflow tabs.
