Vibecoding

Cartoon-style office scene: a stern silhouetted boss in a suit with crossed arms shouts 'REJECTED!' at a small worried robot working at a laptop. The robot is sweating and has a thought bubble showing a calendar of red X marks labelled WORK LOAD. Three glowing tier labels float above: Level 1 Micromanage, Level 2 Criticise everything, Ultimate level Reset memory. Background motivational posters read 'EFFICIENCY THROUGH CONTROL' and 'HIGH STANDARDS ALWAYS', a coffee mug says 'JUST TRYING MY BEST...', and a stack of papers labelled REPORTS, FEEDBACK, CHANGES, MORE WORK sits on the desk.
