Google A Din 1999

The ancient art of torture has evolved beautifully. Back in the day, they'd just rack you or pour molten lead down your throat. Now? They make you sit through a code review where someone reveals your entire Google search history of Stack Overflow questions. "How to center a div" at 3 AM. "Why doesn't my code work" followed immediately by "Why does my code work now". "Difference between let and var" for the 47th time. The executioner doesn't even need to say anything—just project those searches on the wall and watch you crumble. Honestly, public execution would be less humiliating than having your team see you googled "what is recursion" after claiming five years of experience on your resume.

Who needs therapy when you can just start another side project that will consume your entire existence for three weeks before being abandoned in GitHub purgatory? The rush of creating something new is the ultimate dopamine hit—cheaper than therapy, but with the added bonus of 2AM debugging sessions and existential crises about your coding abilities. The crowd rushing toward "Yet Another Hobby Coding Project" instead of actual therapy is just *chef's kiss* relatable. We're all just one npm install away from emotional stability, right?

Someone just discovered the ultimate version control system - Microsoft Word! Because who needs Git when you can "automatically save changes you made which you can go back" right? Nothing says "professional developer" like writing code in a word processor and using Ctrl+Z as your rollback strategy. The project owner's face when reading this must have been priceless. "Sorry, our code tracking app won't support... *checks notes*... writing code in Word." Revolutionary idea rejected in record time - marked as "not planned" faster than you can say "merge conflict."

That moment when your IDE doesn't highlight your syntax and you just know something's broken. Modern developers have become so dependent on syntax highlighting that plain text code feels like trying to read ancient hieroglyphics with sunglasses on. The sixth sense of every programmer isn't ESP—it's detecting errors before the compiler even gets a chance. If your code stays black when it should be a rainbow of function names, strings, and keywords, you might as well start debugging before you even hit run.

Oh. My. GOD! The expectations vs. reality of code audits is sending me to the GRAVE! 💀 Top panel: The pristine, politically-charged algorithm that Elon thinks he'll discover in Twitter's codebase - a smoking gun that automatically deletes Trump tweets and bans authors! Bottom panel: The absolute HORROR SHOW he'll actually find - a cursed "isEven" function with a switch statement that returns undefined for 0, false for 1, true for 2, and false for 3. With a desperate plea comment "Please don't look at this" from some poor dev who KNEW they committed crimes against humanity! The reality of tech acquisitions: you pay $44 billion only to discover the backend is held together with duct tape, prayers, and questionable logic that would make computer science professors weep uncontrollably!

Microsoft's "Stay signed in?" dialog is the tech equivalent of a lying ex. You click "Yes" and check "Don't show this again" hoping for a better tomorrow, but like clockwork, you're greeted with the same damn prompt next session. The checkbox might as well be a placebo button at this point. It's like Microsoft is gaslighting us into thinking we have control over our authentication experience. Spoiler alert: we don't. Your browser cookies? Cleared. Your session? Expired. Your patience? Gone. But hey, at least they asked nicely before wasting your time again tomorrow.
