The classic tale of an intern's first week: accidentally running DROP DATABASE instead of DROP TABLE and then pretending to be as surprised as everyone else. That wide-eyed innocent look isn't fooling anyone, buddy. The best part? The senior dev doesn't even suspect it was you—they're just puzzled by the mysterious database vanishing act. Pro tip: production databases and interns should be kept at least 500 miles apart at all times. It's basically Newton's lesser-known Fourth Law of Motion.

Content Hacker Scripts Based on a true story: xxx: OK, so, our build engineer has left for another company. The dude was literally living inside the terminal. You know, that type of a guy who loves Vim, creates diagrams in Dot and writes wiki-posts in Markdown... If something - anything requires more than 90 seconds of his time, he writes a script to automate that. xxx: So we're sitting here, looking through his, uhm, "legacy" xxx: You're gonna love this xxx: smack-my-bitch-up.sh - sends a text message "late at work" to his wife (apparently). Automatically picks reasons from an array of strings, randomly. Runs inside a cron-job. The job fires if there are active SSH-sessions on the server after 9pm with his login. xxX: kumar-asshole.sh - scans the inbox for emails from "Kumar" (a DBA at our clients). Looks for keywords like "help", "trouble", "sorry etc. If keywords are found - the script SSHes into the clients server and rolls back the staging database to the latest backup. Then sends a reply "no worries mate, be careful next time". xxX: hangover.sh - another cron-job that is set to specific dates. Sends automated emails like "not feeling wellgonna work from home" etc. Adds a random "reason" from another predefined array of strings. Fires if there are no interactive sessions on the server at 8:45am. xxX: (and the oscar goes to) fucking-coffee.sh - this one waits exactly 17 seconds (!), then opens a telnet session to our coffee-machine (we had no frikin idea the coffee machine is on the network, runs linux and has a TCP socket up and running) and sends something like sys brew. Turns out this thing starts brewing a mid-sized half-caf latte and waits another 24 (!) seconds before pouring it into a cup. The timing is exactly how long it takes to walk to the machine from the dudes desk. xxx: holy sht I'm keeping those

The query will return zero results because the shirt is clearly blue while the SQL query is looking for black shirts. Classic case of a developer wearing their own bug. The irony of having a database query error on a database-themed shirt is *chef's kiss*. Somewhere a DBA is twitching uncontrollably.

THE ABSOLUTE DRAMA of SQL formatting! One second you're lounging like Skeletor, smugly declaring "Writing SQL in all caps is a choice, not a requirement" and the next you're RUNNING AWAY because you've unleashed pure CHAOS on the database team! The holy war of SQL formatting claims another victim! Those database purists will hunt you down with their perfectly indented queries and meticulously capitalized keywords until the end of time! The AUDACITY to suggest lowercase SQL! Might as well have said tabs are better than spaces or that semicolons are optional! Some developer sins can never be forgiven!
