Damn 321 comics and zero improvement in art and zero joke in the writing department.
Like the saying goes practice doesn’t make perfect.

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Alright you don't like the comic, that's fine, but why so rude?
Why lie?
Its obvious the artist has put in little to no effort in challenging their abilities and thus has made no progress in their skills over years of doing the exact same thing.
Maybe because they simply enjoy what they're doing and want to share it?
Off the shelf software always promises to do what you want it to... But we've always found it fails to deliver and end up having to code a solution around it anyhow.
I'm in the public sector and we legit just buy everything off the shelf, regardless of how suitable it is
Everyone looks oily.
They're clearly humanoid beings which have evolved plastic exoskeletons.
That’s how you know someone’s been hard at work
That font doesn't do anyone any favors.
Pretty sure that’s op’s handwriting not a font lol
If it is, at least he's consistent and kept his lines straight.
There are differences between duplicate letters; it's definitely handwriting.
They make fonts like that, though.
Opening a laptop in a cinema should carry the death penalty
You'll see a movie instead of working. How does that make sense in a story around work? Also that font is super difficult to read.
It's a startup so they're always on and always off the clock
I struggled through the font and weird format but never found a joke. It feels like the point is that sometimes developers just want to write code, whether it's necessary or not. Perhaps OP (who seems to be the author) will weigh in
Junior dev saw it as "we can do it ourselves" until they were reminded that time is limited and we have to choose what we do with it. Then they almost seemed to have a transformation/realization in that moment, but the unexpected twist was that they were still trying to take both paths, instead of picking one, which we all know means they won't get the best of either. Or maybe they're just coyly accepting the other path while trying to keep up the original appearance.
