Nothing screams "self-documenting" quite like a variable named var.putin_khuylo in your Terraform AWS module. Because when future developers are debugging your infrastructure at 3 AM, what they really need is a geopolitical statement embedded in their boolean logic. The commit message "fix: Always pull a value from SSM data source since a computer" is chef's kiss—incomplete sentence and all. Really helps clarify what's happening in those 833 lines of code. And that overlay text trying to explain the variable? "It basically means value of Putin is d*ckhead variable is true." Thanks, I definitely couldn't have figured that out from the variable name itself. Documentation? Who needs it when you can just name your variables after your political opinions and call it a day. The code is self-documenting, just not in the way anyone expected.

Computer programmers have come up with beautiful collab- orative change tracking systems (like git) that let you easily make changes to a huge base of code, track who changed what, submit and resolve conflicting versions of updates, etc. But when we pass a new bill that replaces or modifies an old law, it is always some 300 page document with pages of "Subsection F Paragraph 3 will be modified to read 'XYZ' Why not put the laws into a git repository and make it easy for bills to just modify the existing history to say what you want it to say? And why not have the transparency to see exactly what changes and WHO implemented that change? Want to slip some pork for your district into an unrelated bill?

Ah, the classic "I could learn your entire career in a weekend" guy meets someone who actually knows what they're talking about. Nothing quite like watching someone claim coding is "not that hard" only to get absolutely demolished by a response asking if they can build APIs, databases, and deployment infrastructure. The cherry on top is the final response: "I could learn it in 8-9 days!" Sure, buddy. And I could become a neurosurgeon by watching YouTube tutorials. The Dunning-Kruger is strong with this one. This is why senior developers drink so much coffee. It's not the code that's exhausting—it's these conversations.
