After deploying to production before long weekend

Oh. My. GOD. The absolute AUDACITY of this error message! 💅 "Your pictures can't be printed because this error occurred: An internal error occurred." SERIOUSLY?! That's like saying "You can't eat dinner because you're hungry!" The computer is basically telling you "Something broke because something broke" and then having the NERVE to add an "OK" button like you're supposed to just accept this toxic relationship. This is the digital equivalent of your ex texting "we need to talk" and then ghosting you for three weeks. I can't even! 🙄

The duality of developer confidence is just *chef's kiss*. Top panel shows you smashing out code like an unstoppable green rage monster, demolishing problems and feeling invincible. Then comes the code review with senior devs and suddenly you're a shameful hulk with imposter syndrome, wondering how you ever thought your hacky solution was acceptable. Nothing humbles you faster than having three people stare at your variable names and ask "but why though?" in perfect unison.

The classic demo day disaster! Junior devs having existential meltdowns while senior devs are just like "Ah yes, the demo monster strikes again." That terrifying moment when your perfectly working app decides to transform into a fire-breathing crash-beast right when all the important people are watching! Seniors have seen this movie before—they've developed that thousand-yard stare that says "I expected nothing and I'm still disappointed." Meanwhile juniors are discovering new levels of panic they didn't know existed. It's not a real product launch until something explodes spectacularly in front of the CEO!

Content Brandon Dail aweary me, a software engineer: large scale production systems are complex and require teams of experts to keep running. It's near impossible to get right 100 of the time me, when an app I use goes down once: these fucking clowns, what the fuck 25 Sep 2020 at 02:17 via Twitter for iPhone

The ultimate tech interview paradox: a desperate candidate sweating bullets over a problem while the interviewer—represented by a clueless Shiba Inu—has no idea how to solve their own copied homework. It's the coding equivalent of bringing a knife to a gunfight, except neither person knows how to use weapons. The silent panic when you realize the person judging your career fate just grabbed a LeetCode hard from StackOverflow and is praying you don't ask follow-up questions. Two imposters in a room, but only one knows they're faking it.

The majestic startup princess, adorned with her crown of ambition and gown of venture capital, stands tall and proud. Meanwhile, the slimy Agile frog lurks nearby, eyeing her with that unmistakable "I can fix her" energy. Fast forward, and our princess has fallen from grace, desperately bowing to the Agile methodology she once ignored. "Just one sprint," she whispers. "Just one little retrospective." The final frame reveals the inevitable transformation—both are now frogs in the swamp of two-week iterations and daily standups. The startup's grand vision reduced to sticky notes and burndown charts. The crown has been passed, but nobody won.
