Be Rich By Sabotaging Your Own Code

Content hole Haggis has a hole in his roof. He never fixed it because on rainy days it is too wet to work. And on sunny days it doesn't need fixing.

Content Was sitting in a video conference with RD, Product Management, Sales, etc, and on one point, RD said the new feature is not ready to roll out due to a few bugs on which the Product Manager replayed "then deleted them! We need to roll it out!" This was literally the face of anyone understanding anything about programming

When a colleague announces they're leaving, there are two types of developers: those who mourn the loss of institutional knowledge, and those who've seen Billy's SQL queries. Poor Billy committed the cardinal database sin: using a cross join with a group-by clause. That's like using a flamethrower to light birthday candles – technically it works, but the collateral damage is... extensive. The remaining team members aren't celebrating Billy's departure – they're planning his execution before he can push that monstrosity to production. Because nothing says "farewell party" like debugging someone's queries that would bring a database server to its knees.

Want to watch a developer lose their mind? Skip the obvious semicolon swap and go straight for psychological warfare. Adding #define public private to system headers is the programming equivalent of putting sugar in someone's gas tank. You're not just breaking their code—you're breaking their spirit . It'll compile fine but cause absolute chaos at runtime, leading to days of debugging hell while they question their sanity, their career choices, and possibly the fabric of reality itself.

The eternal cosmic joke of software development: users barely acknowledge when something works correctly (top panel of stoic faces), but developers lose their minds with excitement (bottom panel of pure chaos). After spending 3 weeks debugging that one edge case that happens only on Tuesdays when Mercury is in retrograde, seeing your feature actually work in production feels like winning the lottery. Meanwhile, users are just like "yeah, that's what it's supposed to do, right?" The gap between these reactions is why senior devs drink so much coffee.
