Naming Your Child After Your Password

The corporate world's version of mutually assured destruction. While the programmer faces jail time for his digital revenge bomb, the possum's living his best life in pastry paradise. One destroyed a company's infrastructure, the other infiltrated a donut box—both chaotic neutral heroes in their own domains. The real crime here isn't the kill switch, it's that no one thought to implement proper access revocation protocols. Pro tip: before firing your only DevOps engineer, maybe check if they've left presents in your codebase first? That possum didn't even need to write a single line of code to achieve total victory.

Nothing says "happy Monday" like crime scene tape in the server room. That yellow caution tape is the universal symbol for "some poor sysadmin's weekend was utterly destroyed." Whoever put that there is either preventing others from witnessing the horror of a catastrophic failure or preserving evidence for the inevitable postmortem meeting where someone will have to explain why production went down. The best part? Everyone walking by knows exactly what happened without needing a single word of explanation. Server room + caution tape + Monday morning = someone's about to update their resume.

Corporate training modules: the final boss of workplace tedium. First panel shows the truth—they're outdated, ineffective digital zombies that HR unleashes upon us. Second panel reveals the grim reality—we've all morphed into those expressionless NPCs, mindlessly announcing "completion" just to make them go away. The transformation is complete when you realize you've spent 4 hours clicking through a security training that could've been a single email saying "don't use 'password123'." The greatest fiction in software engineering isn't AI consciousness—it's pretending anyone actually learns from these things.

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.

European software engineers telling American cloud providers to take a hike after GDPR and Schrems II. Nothing says "I don't want to play with you anymore" quite like data sovereignty laws making AWS, GCP, and Azure non-compliant overnight. European devs just sitting there with their locally-hosted solutions, sipping tea while American cloud giants scramble to build EU data centers that still technically don't solve the legal problem.

Someone searching for "c++ c style strings" with SafeSearch turned OFF. Just like C strings with no bounds checking, this search is about to overflow with exactly the kind of memory corruption you weren't expecting. Nothing says "living dangerously" like null-terminated arrays and unfiltered search results.
