Nothing says "I'm a keeper" quite like someone who exclusively uses DD/MM/YYYY and refuses to acknowledge the existence of ISO 8601. While the rest of us are drowning in timezone conversions, locale-specific parsing errors, and that one database that stores dates as strings (yes, really), this guy found his soulmate who thinks there's only one true date format. Meanwhile, your production server is somewhere screaming because someone in the US entered 03/04/2024 and now nobody knows if it's March 4th or April 3rd. But sure, let's pretend other formats are just "a bit confusing" and not the reason we have 47 different datetime libraries in every programming language. Fun fact: There are at least 20+ common date formats used globally, and they all hate each other. The only thing developers can agree on is that whoever decided to make JavaScript's Date() start months at 0 deserves a special place in debugging hell.

Junior dev casually announces they're about to nuke the backend and database at 9:40 AM like they're ordering coffee. Boss tries calling—ignored. Then comes the classic "Deploy*" with an asterisk that screams "I meant destroy but autocorrect saved literally nothing." Followed by "Apologies" and desperate pleas to just pick up the phone and take the day off. The junior's response? "Don't worry. It was a typo." Yeah, sure it was. Boss knows better and insists anyway because some typos cost six figures and a weekend. That asterisk is doing more heavy lifting than the entire CI/CD pipeline. One character difference between shipping features and shipping your career to the unemployment office.
