This cartoon is basically my programming career. Initially I thought that everything had to be planned out to the most exacting degree (panel 1). Then I learned that nothing ever goes as planned so you have to be able to adapt on the fly to changing circumstances; eventually I realized that adaptation is so much more important that you really don’t need much of a plan at all, especially when you’re basically writing the same software over and over again (panel 2).
Eventually I realized that nobody ever used the software I was writing so there wasn’t much point in doing anything at all (panel 3). Then I was laid off and now I drive a school bus (panel 4).
