A 4 panel grayscale comic set in an office featuring a woman with wavey hair (Jane) and a man with long hair, a beard, and glasses (Programmer). Panel 1. Jane approaches Programmer at his desk. Jane: You're a software engineer. Why is your industry... like that? Programmer: Because investors are a bunch of FOMO poisoned gambling addicts. Panel 2. Programmer: It makes more sense if you think of tech buzzwords as magic spells that summon venture capital. Jane: Come on, people aren't that dumb. Programmer: Wanna bet? Panel 3. Close up on programmer. Programmer: Ahem. My AI first Blockchain Metaverse is going to disrupt the banking industry. I will name it after a thing from Lord of the Rings. NFTs. Cloud Computing.

In the background Jane looks surprised and Programmer looks amused. Investor 1: Did I miss the first round of funding? Investor 2: Are you looking for angel investment?
