I'm Sorry Dave, I'm Afraid I Deleted That

BEHOLD! The magnificent tragedy of WebSocket development! Your computer, a delicate damsel in distress, desperately trying to connect to the outside world while your firewall, the overzealous knight in shining armor, is LITERALLY BLOCKING CONNECTIONS FROM YOUR OWN MACHINE! The sheer audacity! It's like having a bodyguard who won't let you leave your own house because "the outside world is dangerous" — and then you realize IT'S THE SAME DAMN COMPUTER making both decisions! The digital equivalent of slapping yourself in the face and then wondering why it hurts! 💀

Alternate Jurassic Park ending: Dennis Nedry realizes he's the only IT guy maintaining a critical system with actual dinosaurs and demands fair compensation. Hammond reluctantly agrees instead of lowballing him. Movie ends peacefully, no one gets eaten, and the park probably has working door locks. The real horror was the salary negotiation all along.

From using LLMs to create marketing materials to weaponizing them against themselves. It's the circle of AI life. Companies now build fake websites specifically designed to be scraped by LLMs during training, just so their marketing garbage shows up when users ask for recommendations. Diabolical? Yes. Effective? Unfortunately.

The eternal struggle of a developer's brain refusing to shut down at bedtime. Just as you're drifting off to sleep, your brain hits you with the impossible dream: "What if there was a GitHub list of GDPR-compliant EU companies that actually respect privacy?" Your brain knows full well this mythical collection is as rare as bug-free code on the first commit. The wide-eyed stare in the final panel perfectly captures that moment when you realize you'll be debugging this thought until 4 AM instead of sleeping. Finding ethical tech companies is like searching for proper documentation – theoretically possible but practically nonexistent.

Regular running? That's for peasants who accept "permission denied" errors. But sudo ? That's like showing up with a samurai sword and an army of ninjas to your command line. Nothing says "I'm done asking nicely" like prefixing your command with sudo . It's the Linux equivalent of bringing a tank to a knife fight. The system says no? Not anymore it doesn't. Turns out administrative privileges aren't just given—they're taken, preferably while wearing a cool hat and wielding dual katanas.

Behold the magnificent journey of a "non-technical" founder going from AI-generated hubris to digital humility in just 48 hours! First tweet: "Look at my amazing no-code SaaS built with AI! Stop complaining and start building! P.S. People actually pay for this!" Two days later: "Help! I'm being attacked! My API keys are maxed out, people are bypassing subscriptions, and my database is a dumpster fire! BTW, I'm not technical so... oops?" The classic tale of finding out that building secure software requires more than just dragging and dropping with Cursor. Turns out "zero hand-written code" also means "zero security considerations." Who could have possibly predicted that?
