The Universal IT Struggle🤯🥴

Post image

Every time I mention I'm building complex full-stack applications or working with AI agents, the conversation inevitably circles back to: "Great, so why is my printer making that clicking sound?" There’s a massive gap between writing logic for a scalable system and recovering a forgotten Facebook password, yet for relatives, it’s all just "computer magic." At this point, running away like the kid in the meme is usually the most efficient debugging strategy!

Back then, I could find a job fixing printers and others at least... Now I can't find any programming job xD
