You Should Also Use A Dark Theme In Your Ide

The classic tech industry bait-and-switch! Job listings be like "We need you to master the entire Microsoft stack, Java ecosystem, and three forgotten XML technologies from 2003" but once you're hired it's just "Hey can you fix this button alignment on the login page?" The disconnect between the encyclopedic knowledge they demand in interviews versus the mundane reality of day-to-day work is the tech industry's greatest magic trick. Meanwhile, the seniors who can't remember half those acronyms are designing the architecture while you're debugging CSS.

Ah, the classic merge conflict in its natural habitat! When nature decides to implement its own version control system and the tree refuses to rebase. The metal grate tried to follow a nice, orderly pattern until this stubborn trunk came along with its own implementation. Now we've got this chaotic mess in the middle that nobody wants to resolve manually. Just like when Dave pushes directly to master at 4:59pm on Friday and ruins everyone's weekend. The tree's basically saying "I'm not moving my code for your architecture decisions" and honestly, I respect that level of commitment.

When security meets bureaucracy, innovation happens! The boss wants to secure packages against supply chain attacks, and everyone's got ideas: raise awareness, use AI scanning, require 2FA from multiple devs. But that one guy takes it to the next level with "4FA" - and gets promptly defenestrated for his brilliance. For the uninitiated, 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) is already a pain for most developers. Suggesting 4FA is like proposing we solve traffic jams by adding more lanes to highways - technically logical but practically homicidal.

OH. MY. GOD. The absolute AUDACITY of non-technical people assuming Java and JavaScript are related! 💅 Honey, that's like saying a car and carpet are the same because they both start with "car"! The mental gymnastics required to explain for the 5,000th time that knowing one doesn't magically grant you knowledge of the other is EXHAUSTING! They're completely different languages with different purposes - Java's all "compile once, run anywhere" while JavaScript's like "let's make this button do a little dance when you hover over it, teehee!" And yet here we are, STILL having this conversation in 2023! The trauma! The drama! I literally can't even!

The classic dev paradox: crying about impossible deadlines, legacy codebases, and micromanaging PMs while simultaneously clutching a fat stack of cash. Sure, we're miserable, but at least we're miserable with good compensation. It's like therapy, except instead of paying someone to listen to your problems, you get paid to create new ones.
