99 Little Bugs In The Code

The annual summer ritual of developer suffering has begun. First panel: you're coding next to your PC that's running hotter than Satan's kitchen, fans screaming for mercy. Second panel: you open a window hoping for relief, but instead invite nature's most annoying debuggers. Third panel: moths, attracted to your screen like QA is to that one edge case you forgot to handle, turn your home office into a rainbow rave party. And you thought memory leaks were your biggest problem today.

The secret sauce of modern development revealed! When asked about becoming a coder, the honest answer isn't four years of computer science or mastering algorithms—it's just endlessly Googling error messages until something magically works. The uncomfortable truth is that 90% of our "expertise" is knowing exactly what to search for and which Stack Overflow answer to copy-paste. ChatGPT is just Google with extra steps and fewer captchas asking us to identify traffic lights.

Behold the TRAGIC transformation that awaits us all! Start coding as a hobby? Look at those majestic creatures at the top - radiant, well-groomed, probably eating vegetables and getting eight hours of sleep. Fast forward to coding professionally and BOOM - you're a caffeine-powered zombie with the complexion of someone who hasn't seen sunlight since the first iPhone launched! The energy drink becomes both your life support and personality trait. Your hair? Either nonexistent or staging a rebellion against gravity. Your eyes? Two black holes that have seen the darkest depths of legacy code. The professional coder doesn't even have TIME to grow a proper beard anymore - that's what happens when deadlines eat your soul for breakfast!

That smug little face says it all. You ask a simple yes/no question and instead of a clean true or false , they hit you with "I'll think about it" or some other useless string response. It's like asking someone if they want pizza and they respond with their entire life story. Boolean functions should return boolean values—it's literally in the name! But no, some developers just love to watch the world burn by returning strings like "maybe" or "undefined" when all you wanted was a straightforward answer. Then you're stuck with extra validation code because apparently if(isUserLoggedIn()) wasn't simple enough.
