Wrong Database, Right Disaster

The most terrifying message you can receive from a coworker at 9:40 AM: "I'm about to destroy the backend and DB." That desperate "Deploy*" followed by "Applogies" is the digital equivalent of watching someone drop a vase in slow motion. The frantic prayer hands emoji really sells the absolute panic. And the cherry on top? "It was a typo." Sure, John. We all accidentally type "destroy the backend and DB" when we meant "deploy some minor updates." Happens to the best of us. That's why the "take the day off" suggestion isn't kindness—it's survival instinct.

Ah, the classic programmer date format joke. When normal humans talk about perfect dates, they're thinking candlelit dinners or beach walks. But our code-addicted friend here? His brain immediately jumps to ISO 8601 (YYYY-MM-DD), the only date format that makes any logical sense in a world of chaotic MM/DD/YY vs DD/MM/YY debates. After 20 years of parsing date strings, you develop a special kind of trauma. I've literally broken up with databases over their date handling. And don't get me started on JavaScript's Date object... that relationship was toxic from day one.
