The Absurdity of Being a Programmer: A brutally honest satire about code, burnout, meetings, bugs, and the quiet madness behind the screen

Programming is supposed to be logical. Predictable. Clean.

It isn’t.

This book is a sharp, ironic, and painfully accurate look at what it actually means to work as a programmer, IT specialist, or software developer in the modern world.

Not the conference version. Not the LinkedIn version. The real one.

Inside, you’ll find:• endless meetings about code that nobody opens• systems held together by assumptions and hope• bugs that aren’t personal, but feel like they are• deadlines that are suggestions• automation that creates more work• burnout that arrives quietly• experience that looks like caution• and a career spent explaining why things take time

This is not a guide. It won’t make you a better programmer. It won’t teach you a new language.

It will do something more dangerous.

It will make you feel seen.

Written in a dry, observant, and tired-but-still-caring voice, The Absurdity of Being a Programmer is a satirical nonfiction book for anyone who has ever stared at a screen wondering why everything works except when it matters.

If you’ve ever thought:“Is it just me?”This book answers:“No. It’s the job.”
