a parable from the trenches (what it feels like) dev edition part 1:
there once was a man knee-deep in the same filth as everyone else… greed sloshing thick as raw shit, in a sea of serial launches, fake/dishonest ass devs, and rug-a-million before a million style around here. fingers pointing in every direction but their own, no one stepping up like grown adults.
wounds he never earned were pouring blood down his chest, yet he dropped to his knees anyway and started cpr on the whole community that should’ve been right there beside him. ribs cracking under his palms, his own blood thick in his mouth, vision tunneling to black… he kept it breathing.
it still crashed.
after they have the chance to see light again, they sit up, coughed once, looked at him dead in the eyes… and slapped him with a lawsuit for saving their sorry lives.
“you farming piece of shit,” they scoffed, eyes glinting with that special brand of entitled venom, “you should’ve spotted the “do not resuscitate” we had tattooed in microscopic ink on the absolute underside of our pinky toe. the one hidden so absurdly well that even if we were stark-naked under a blazing interrogation spotlight, you’d still need a microscope, a blacklight, a magnifying glass, and a goddamn miracle just to find it because there’s no saving me, and get fucked”
it wasn’t fair they flipped the script and crowned him the villain for bleeding out just to keep it alive
But if it had gone the other way, if it had giga sent, and blown up huge…
oh, it would’ve been “WE did it,” “WE pulled this off,” “WE built this” every single time.
when it fails, though? Suddenly it’s all “YOU.”
