Developers still wait for an AI blessing.

<From rain ritual to AI blessing 1.1>

Panel details

1. Kkobugi performs a rain ritual at an ancient altar while imagining rain, with Kim Saseum and Park Mulbeom praying beside him.
2. Kkobugi marches in a strange old priest robe, followed by people marked with disease, defeated war survivors, and skull signs that evoke a religious war.
3. Kkobugi, Kim Saseum, and Park Mulbeom perform a ceremony before a wall labeled Project Open. A pig's head with a ten-thousand-won bill, phones, a mouse, and keyboards sit on the altar.
4. Kkobugi, Kim Saseum, and Park Mulbeom kneel before a white, pupil-less goddess marked AI and pray. The words Coding, Work-Life Balance, and Money appear above streams of blessing light.

Intent Development Room 404 episode 27, Rain Ritual, satirizes developers praying for rain, a project opening, and AI blessings through an absurd four-panel webtoon.
