The Stackoverflow Medical Degree

After 15 years in tech, I can confirm this pie chart is scientifically accurate. The blue slice representing "restart whatever isn't working" is basically our industry's version of percussive maintenance. That "IT placebo effect" is real too—walk into a room and suddenly the printer that's been jamming for 3 days works flawlessly. Users look at you like you're a wizard, but really you just interrupted whatever cosmic force was enjoying their suffering. And let's be honest, that quick Google search is just us typing "why the hell is [software] doing [weird thing]" and hoping someone on Stack Overflow had the same existential crisis.

Oh honey, the way your brain EXPLODES into a supernova of cosmic enlightenment when you're desperately copy-pasting Stack Overflow answers at 2 AM is truly a sight to behold. Meanwhile, your actual relationship? Brain smoother than a freshly formatted hard drive. The galaxy-brain energy you bring to reading documentation could power a small city, but ask you to remember your anniversary and suddenly you're running on a potato processor. The real kicker? You've got more neural pathways dedicated to keyboard shortcuts than to basic human communication. Priorities? Immaculate. Social skills? Error 404.

Nothing says "totally not stressed" like aging 40 years in 29. That beard isn't white from wisdom—it's from debugging legacy code at 3 AM while production is on fire. The sunglasses aren't a fashion statement; they're hiding the thousand-yard stare from staring at Stack Overflow for 72 consecutive hours. But sure, Nerijus, tell us again how IT isn't stressful while your eye twitches uncontrollably behind those lenses.
