So Damn Far

Ah, the classic developer defense mechanism. When family asks what you actually do all day, it's easier to wave a hand mysteriously than explain why you spent four hours debugging a missing semicolon. The truth is we're just frantically Googling error messages and praying Stack Overflow stays online. But "mysterious and important" sounds way better than "I stared at compiler errors until my eyes bled, then celebrated fixing a bug by creating three more."

The eternal workplace dichotomy laid bare! Designers will fight to the death over who came up with the rounded corner first, while programmers are basically running a communist utopia of code ownership. Left side: Designer 1 politely suggests they had similar ideas. Designer 2 goes full rage mode, accusing theft like it's the heist of the century. Right side: Programmer 1 openly admits to code theft with zero shame. Programmer 2 responds with the ultimate defense mechanism: "It's not my code" – the programming equivalent of "I don't even want it anyway." Welcome to software development, where nobody wants to own the bugs but everyone wants credit for the pretty buttons.
