Adobe Support

A mythical entity allegedly created to assist users of Adobe products, but primarily functions as a high-speed Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V machine. Conversations follow a predictable arc: you provide detailed information, they ignore it, then respond with either a request for the same info or irrelevant steps clearly lifted from an ancient support scroll. It's not help — it’s performance art in email form.

Me: "Hi, I’m using Magento 2.4.7-p4 and the checkout crashes on submit."
Adobe Support: "Thanks for confirming. Can you please take a full backup, reset your expectations, and wait 48 hours for a reply that ignores your message entirely?"

Adobe Programmer Syndrome (APS)

A programmer, or group of programmers, more interested in tacking more and more "bloatware" features to software, rather then cleaning up and optimizing existing code. Usually using the excuse "Computers are faster now, they can handle it"

Any real programmer knows performance > features and splash screens are soooo 2001.

Adobe Mountain School

A "prison" that is ran by the Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections in North Phoenix, that inmates/former inmates act like is hardcore, in an attempt to gain respect, when really it is very similar to a daycare and full of snitches, child molesters, and fake gangsters.

Former Inmate #1: "Yo dawg I just did 4 months in Adobe Mountain School, it was crazy people were getting killed everyday it was hardcore."

Former Inmate #2: "Really?, cause I just got released last March and it was full of pussies."
