Hey there, fellow code wranglers and server whisperers!
'Tis the season to be jolly... and to dodge tech questions like Neo dodges bullets in The Matrix! 
As we gear up for the annual family gathering extravaganza, I couldn't help but chuckle at this all-too-relatable gem floating around the interwebs. You know the drill - you've barely hung up your coat when Aunt Marge corners you with that gleam in her eye:
"Oh, sweetie! You work with computers, don't you? My toaster's been acting up..."
Suddenly, your years of containerization, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code expertise vanish faster than a production server during a Black Friday sale. You find yourself channeling your inner Caitlin, mustering all your willpower to utter that magical two-letter word: "No."
But fear not, my fellow holiday heroes! I've got a foolproof strategy to keep your sanity intact this season:
- Develop selective hearing loss when words like "computer," "internet," or "thingamajig" are mentioned.
- Always carry a plate of food - it's hard to fix printers with sticky figgy pudding fingers!
- Master the art of the Irish goodbye. When cornered, simply yell "Oh look, reindeer!" and disappear in a cloud of tinsel.
Remember, folks - we may deploy to production, but we don't have to deploy our skills at the dinner table. Let's raise a glass of eggnog to blissful ignorance and family members who think "the cloud" is just something in the sky!
So, how are you planning to navigate the treacherous waters of family tech support this holiday season? Share your tactics below - bonus points for the most creative excuses!
May your uptime be high and your family's tech expectations be low. Happy Holidays, you magnificent nerds!
