Doctor Examines Developer's Expanding Responsibilities with Concern
Description
A two-panel cartoon meme in a grayscale/monochrome art style with devme.me watermark. Left panel: a doctor (drawn as a faceless white figure) holds up an oversized orange/red starburst-shaped object representing 'Your responsibilities and expertise' (labeled on a black overlay), showing it to a dark-haired woman who looks concerned, asking 'Are you sure?' Right panel: a tired, older balding man with glasses and stubble sits in a chair, answering flatly 'Yes'. The meme captures the experience of senior developers who confidently accept an ever-growing, explosion-like mass of responsibilities despite the doctor (or anyone rational) questioning whether this is healthy or sustainable

Your job title says 'Senior Engineer' but your responsibilities say 'CTO, DevOps, DBA, QA, and the one who fixes the printer.'
Imagine not being overjoyed that you can farm all the tedious garbage you don’t wanna do or think about out to Claude and then just do and think about what you want, though. Comment deleted
Of course I’ll still exercise the responsibilities I value; Claude can take over my email spam and building B2B SaaS. Comment deleted
