UI/UX DESIGNER · NEW EMPLOYER ✓ · INCOME: ELEVATED · WIFE: NULL (PERSISTENT BUG)

😤 Pain Points

  • Marriage module stuck at 0% — survived two employers, still no wife.
  • Now earns more but spends it all on premium Figma plugins.
  • New colleagues' UIs are even worse. Critique mode is dangerously overloaded.
  • Higher salary means relatives now ask about wedding with MORE urgency.
  • Still 47 Figma tabs. Now 51. The new job added 4.

🎯 Goals (Updated)

  • Ship the "Wife" feature before app turns 35. (Age: 34. Time running out.)
  • New employer secured. ✅ Redirect salary to marriage fund.
  • Convince new team that Comic Sans is genuinely evil.
  • Use higher income to fund a proper wedding, not a Canva invite.
  • Still: make one life decision without a mood board.
I got a better-paying job. My mother said "good, now fix your marriage status next." I had no rebuttal.

bug report

BUG TRACKER

#Bug DescriptionPriorityStatus
#001 404: Wife Not Found
The wife_module has returned null for 34 consecutive years. No roadmap item exists for this feature. Age 34. Clock is ticking audibly.
CRITICAL Open (legendary)
#002 ✅ Salary endpoint — RESOLVED
Successfully migrated from deprecated employer to new_company.io. Income stream restored at higher bandwidth. No downtime expected.
RESOLVED ✓ Closed
#003 Critique mode cannot be disabled
Now also applies to new company's onboarding slides. First day feedback: "The font pairing is a hate crime." HR has been notified.
HIGH Won't Fix (feature)
#004 Social life module underperforming
Higher salary has not improved social pipeline. New excuse: "I'm settling into the new job." Predicted validity: 3 months max.
MEDIUM In Denial
#005 Figma tab count: now 51
New job added 4 more unsolicited redesigns of things nobody asked him to redesign. Including the company's 404 page, ironically.
MEDIUM Getting Worse
#006 Age = 34. Wife ETA = unknown.
System is approaching the critical threshold. Every family dinner is now a live bug review session. User has no patch notes.
CRITICAL Deteriorating
#007 Sleep schedule returns undefined
sleep.getTime() returns 3:47 AM. New job has not helped. If anything, new Figma access made it worse.
LOW User enjoys bug

product roadmap

THE ROADMAP

Updated roadmap. One item is now green. The concerning one remains untouched since version 1.0.

✅ DONE
✅ COMPLETED — Income Restored
Migrated to Better-Paying Server
New employer located. Income endpoint restored. Salary running at higher bandwidth than previous deployment. Side effect: relatives have now upgraded their wedding pressure from "suggestions" to "demands."
✓ New Job ✓ Higher Salary ✓ Ramen Cancelled
NOW
🔥 P0 — CRITICAL
Ship the "First Date" Feature (Age: 34)
Income is stable. Excuses have run out. The wife module needs its first actual commit. Minimum viable product: meet a human, don't critique her phone's UI within the first 10 minutes, and don't bring up kerning on a first date.
Go outside Smile.exe Silence critique_mode
Q4 2025
Beta Release
Propose "Girlfriend" Module
After successful alpha testing, commit to a relationship. Do NOT redesign her Instagram bio without consent. Do NOT gift her a UX audit of her personal brand for her birthday. These are not romantic gestures.
Iterate No Figma gifts Remember dates
2026
Stable Release v1.0
SHIP THE WIFE FEATURE 🚀
The legendary, family-requested, decade-overdue feature finally ships. Success metric: mother stops crying at other people's weddings. Also, ring.purchase() must be called before wedding.plan().
ring.purchase() wedding.plan() MA_HAPPY=true
final verdict
Overall Life Score (Updated)
5/10

Significant improvement detected. The salary module is back online — and running hotter than before. Career trajectory: ascending.

But let's be real. Age 34. No wife. 51 Figma tabs. The job is fixed. The man is not. We're rooting for you — but the wife bug has been open for 34 years and we're getting concerned.

Use the FIND THE WIFE MODULE above. It won't work — but at least you'll be entertained.

🎉 CONGRATULATIONS ON THE NEW JOB. NOW PLEASE FIX THE OTHER THING. 🎉
