Let's All Share The Worst Piece Of Code We've Seen In Our Career

The horror! Using exceptions as a data transport mechanism is like using a fire alarm as an intercom. Some backend dev actually built a system where they're intentionally throwing exceptions to pass data between services! That's like deliberately crashing your car to change lanes. Exception handling is meant for exceptional circumstances, not as your primary API. The stack traces alone would make any performance profiler weep. Imagine the logs: "ERROR: Everything's actually fine, we just needed to send some JSON to the payment service." This is the programming equivalent of using a sledgehammer to insert a thumbtack.

Cloud Devs Vs Local Storage

The modern cloud developer's kryptonite: a simple file path. When someone proudly announces they're a "cloud developer," they're essentially admitting they've transcended the primitive world of local storage in favor of distributed systems and fancy S3 buckets. But show them a basic "C:\USERS\" directory and suddenly they're having flashbacks to the dark ages of computing. It's like watching someone who only eats at five-star restaurants panic when handed a can opener. "What do you mean I have to manage my own files? Where's my auto-scaling? My redundancy? My absurdly complex YAML configuration?"
