When Requirements Are Technically Correct

The new developer took "Make the clock hands show the current time" a bit too literally. Instead of rotating analog hands, they just slapped the actual timestamp values onto the clock face. Classic case of malicious compliance meets unclear requirements! This is what happens when you inherit code with zero context and the documentation is just a Post-it note. The PM probably envisioned elegant rotating hands, but the dev thought "well technically these digital values DO show the current time..." and shipped it. Requirements passed, elegance failed.

This Is So Stupid. I Hope That The Ram Prices Will Go Down In The Future.

Someone's out here generating AI frappuccinos while the rest of us are still trying to justify $500 for 32GB of RAM to our managers. The irony is beautiful—we're burning through GPU cycles and cloud compute credits to create cute little coffee drinks, probably using more processing power than the Apollo moon landing, and somehow RAM prices are still stuck in 2021 scalper mode. Every AI enthusiast running Stable Diffusion locally knows the pain: your model needs 16GB VRAM minimum, your IDE wants 8GB, Chrome's eating another 12GB with those 47 tabs you swear you'll close later, and Docker containers are having a RAM buffet in the background. Meanwhile, someone's training models to generate aesthetically pleasing beverages. Priorities. The real kicker? Those AI frappuccinos probably consumed more electricity and memory than it would cost to just buy an actual frappuccino. But hey, at least they're cute.
