When The First Year CS Student Asks What Is A Zip File

That moment when you realize you've been in this industry so long that basic concepts have become ancient artifacts. The look of existential dread when a freshman asks what a zip file is... like watching someone question why we still use wheels on cars. Nothing makes you feel more like a digital dinosaur than explaining compression algorithms to kids who grew up with unlimited cloud storage. And here I am, remembering when we passed code around on actual floppy disks.

The Caps Lock Catastrophe

OH. MY. GOD. The ABSOLUTE TRAGEDY of hitting Caps Lock by accident and realizing your variable name is now screaming at you! First you're like "WHY IS THIS NOT WORKING?!" Then you stare at your code for 20 minutes, questioning your entire existence, only to finally spot that your precious little userName somehow transformed into UserName and now your case-sensitive language is throwing a fit! The sheer DRAMA of that moment when it finally clicks and you whisper "oh, that's why" with the defeated expression of someone who just wasted an hour of their life on a SINGLE CAPITAL LETTER! 💀

The AI Popularity Contest

The ABSOLUTE STATE of the AI industry right now! 💀 Everyone and their grandmother is lined up to worship at the altar of OpenAI and Gemini while that poor lonely soul with an actual AI startup and millions in funding sits there abandoned like the last potato chip at a party. The tech bros have spoken - if you're not backed by Silicon Valley royalty, you might as well be invisible! The crowd has made their choice and it's clearer than a syntax error on line 1. Fame trumps function, darling! That's not just capitalism, that's capitalism with ✨extra drama✨!

When Your Code Crashes Into The Wild West

When your code crashes so hard it burns the image of Arthur Morgan into your TV. That's not a bug, that's a $444 feature. At least now you have a permanent companion to judge your spaghetti code with that signature cowboy disappointment. Still cheaper than therapy for most developers.

How To Code With No Bugs

Nothing says "bug-free code" like having four military officials with notepads watching your every keystroke. That developer's sweating bullets harder than a junior dev during their first code review. The ultimate "works on my machine" scenario - because nobody dares say otherwise when the boss is literally standing over your shoulder ready to "document" any failures. Talk about extreme pair programming!
