The Four Quadrants Of Programming Reality
A four-panel comic contrasting engineer and non-engineer thinking: top left shows scattered 'example' dots, top right shows engineers generalizing with 'general rule' shapes, bottom left shows implementation chaos with 'wind corner case', 'unintended consequence' and a 'HACK', bottom right shows the ideal clean rectangle. Good for mocking messy requirements and programmer self-deprecation.
