Gifts for Your Mentor - Mugs for Developers
You turn caffeine into code, debug problems that shouldn't exist, and somehow explain technical debt to people who just want features.
Why This Works
Development is creative problem-solving with impossible deadlines. You're expected to estimate work accurately while requirements change daily. These stickers understand.
Your coffee mug is the first thing you reach for every morning and the last line of defense against losing it in the 9am standup. A good mug doesn't just hold your caffeine addiction - it communicates your entire personality without you having to speak to anyone before 10am. These mugs say what you're thinking so you don't have to.
