A.P.: Hmm... I think the error is on the client side...
Dev: Nope! I'm sure the error is on the server side!
A.P.: You haven't even looked into this issue. How can you be so sure the error is on the server side and not the client side?
Dev: Because the client is always right!
A.P.: PLOP!

User (on the phone): Hi, I’m not able to make the entries for one of the trucks here.
Dev: Hold on, let me check... Oh, the registration is incomplete...
User: What do you mean?
Dev: It’s missing the tires... You need to add the tires, otherwise, the system won’t proceed...
(Some time later...)
User: Look, it’s still showing an error... It was a lot of work, but the guy managed to replace all four truck tires... Even so, the system won’t move forward...
Dev: PLOP!

T-shirt: I also don’t know why the system requires the tires

Developer: So, we can use jQuery for the layout...
Project Manager: Oh, great idea!
Project Manager (turning to the boss): jQuery is a tool Java uses to write queries...
Project Manager (turning to the development team): But how could this impact the layout development?
Developer, Developer (female), and Assistant: PLOP!

Boss: Dev, I noticed you took the whole day to complete this PR (Pull Request). Why did it take so long?
Dev: I first had to figure out how the integration APIs worked in order to develop...
Boss: Okay, but this PR only has 5 classes, not even 80 lines of code!
Dev: Look, it was a job of analysis, modeling, and coding! If you want a typist's job, I can write code the same way lawyers fill pages with unnecessary text just to make a point...

Boss: Dev, congratulations! Thanks to your initiative in caching the bank account queries, we have extra money in the budget this year!
Dev: Wow, thank you!
Boss: We might even be able to buy a new access control system
(6 months later...)
Boss: Dev, according to the data from the system, you’ve never entered before 10:30...
Dev: Oh, that’s because I...
Boss: Because of this, we’re going to have to let you go...
Dev: PLOP!

Boss: The client requested an automatic block on financial documents. Another user must release the documents for payment.
(A few months later...)
Boss: The client complained that manually releasing the documents is taking too long! They requested that the documents be automatically released when blocked.
Programmer (indignant): Makes perfect sense, a door with a lock that unlocks itself when locked!

Boss: Programmer, the client is furious!!! This last bug caused a huge loss for them!!!
Programmer: Oh my!
Boss: STOP EVERYTHING YOU’RE DOING AND FIND OUT WHO'S RESPONSIBLE!
Programmer: Wouldn’t it be better if I focused on finding the bug to fix it quickly??
Boss: NO! Finding the responsible party is our priority now!
(After discovering the responsible party)
Programmer: Enzo, look... The Boss is furious because the client had a huge loss due to the bug in the code you wrote! Explain what happened...
Enzo: No, I have no responsibility for this!
Programmer: What do you mean?? You wrote the code!
Enzo: No, I didn’t! The code was written by ChatGPT, so the responsibility isn’t mine!
Programmer: PLOP!

Dev Man: And the tools we already have?
Boss: We're going to replace them with paid tools!

A.P. (via call): Dude, I saw your message that your phone was stolen and you're in the hospital... Are you okay?
Programmer: I'm fine! I'm at home...
Programmer: I wrote that just so I wouldn't have to work today... Did you see that Windows is getting blue screens everywhere??
A.P.: But you use Linux!!
Programmer: Exactly! I would be the only one working and I would still be called all the time to "fix" the crashed computers.
A.P.: Clever!
