When you're taking a break but can't stop thinking about that bug...

The tech industry in a nutshell: watch an 18-minute podcast about landing your dream dev job, then immediately get hit with an 11-minute reality check on why you're completely screwed. Nothing says "balanced career advice" like emotional whiplash between hope and despair in your YouTube recommendations. The algorithm knows exactly how to keep you in that perfect state of anxious engagement.

This meme perfectly captures the soul-crushing reality of developer life. When you tell someone outside tech that you "have tickets," they immediately think you're going to some amazing concert. Meanwhile, you're actually drowning in an endless backlog of Jira tickets that multiply faster than rabbits on energy drinks. The look of disappointment when reality hits is universal - no, Karen, I'm not seeing Taylor Swift this weekend, I'm fixing that bug that's been "highest priority" for the last three sprints. The only concert I'm attending is the symphony of keyboard clicks at 2 AM while I question my career choices.
