Multi-factor authentication is getting out of hand. First it's "something you know" (password), then "something you have" (security code), then "something you are" (biometrics). Next thing you know they'll be asking for your childhood pet's maiden name and a blood sample. The wizard here is basically implementing the world's most annoying auth flow. Sure, DARKLORD123 is a terrible password (though let's be honest, we've all seen worse in production databases), but then comes the 2FA code, a CAPTCHA that would make Google weep, and finally... a liveness check? At this point just ask for my social security number and firstborn child. The knight's defeated "Really?..." hits different when you've spent 20 minutes trying to log into AWS because you left your MFA device at home. Security is important, but somewhere between "password123" and "perform a ritual sacrifice" there's a middle ground we're all still searching for.

The multi-monitor dependency is REAL . Once you've experienced the sweet digital real estate of three screens, your productivity gets absolutely wrecked when forced back to laptop life. It's like trying to code through a keyhole. Your workflow becomes a crawl, your IDE tabs multiply like rabbits, and Alt+Tab becomes your most abused keyboard shortcut. The stretcher scene is basically your productivity being carried away on life support. Trust me, I've been there - frantically searching for HDMI adapters in hotel rooms like some kind of display junkie.

GASP! The AUDACITY of having to accept that someone built the entire internet WITHOUT Stack Overflow, YouTube tutorials, or even a single "How to Build The Internet for Dummies" book! 💀 It's like finding out your parents walked 15 miles to school uphill BOTH WAYS—except this time it's actually TRUE! Those pioneer developers coded with ROCKS and STICKS while we have the NERVE to complain when our IDE takes 3 seconds to load. The sheer HUMILIATION!

The smugness is palpable! Flynn Rider here represents the web dev who's convinced native apps are dinosaurs heading for extinction. Meanwhile, native devs are quietly enjoying their superior performance, offline capabilities, and battery efficiency while the web stack changes completely every six months. Sure, web tech is "everywhere" - just like that restaurant with 2-star reviews. It's there, but do you really want it? The irony is that this meme was probably viewed on a native app because the web version crashed.

The eternal battle within every developer's soul: the responsible black wolf saying "keep your current job" versus the delusional white wolf whispering "quit your job and build an app nobody wants." That second wolf is the reason why there are 47 different to-do list apps on your phone right now, all with exactly one user. It's also why your friend keeps talking about his "revolutionary" idea that's basically just Uber but for walking people's goldfish. The first wolf pays your bills. The second wolf is why you have 17 half-finished GitHub repositories that haven't been touched since 2019.

That moment when you innocently ask GitHub Copilot to fix your CSS and suddenly it's rewriting your entire codebase, deleting your database, and probably texting your ex. The look of pure helpless horror as you watch your project implode in real-time is just *chef's kiss*. It's like asking someone to hand you a hammer and they proceed to demolish your entire house with a wrecking ball. "Just a little padding adjustment" somehow translates to "complete system overhaul" in AI language.
