Don't Touch It If It Works

The classic "it works but I have no idea why" scenario. Your code's like that bird—technically flying, but in the most chaotic, physics-defying way possible. After 15 years of coding, I've learned the sacred rule: when something works through pure accident rather than design, you just back away slowly and leave it alone. Ship it. Document it as "proprietary algorithm" and never speak of it again. The right side is what happens when you try to "clean up" that spaghetti code that was somehow working.

Integer Overflow: The Birthday Edition

STOP EVERYTHING! Someone actually found a practical use for integer overflow! 🎂 When your sister's age hits -6, you've officially broken the universe's data type! The cake with those alternating red and blue candles is basically screaming "I've mastered binary AND birthday decorating!" Integer underflow: the ONLY acceptable reason to serve chocolate cake at a negative-aged person's birthday. Programmers really will go to ANY length to avoid fixing their overflow bugs - including time travel and existential paradoxes. Genius level: ASTRONOMICAL. ✨

Dijkstra's algorithm is an algorithm for finding the shortest paths between nodes in a graph, which may represent, for example, road networks. It was conceived by computer scientist Edger W. Dijkstra in 1956 and published three years later. (12) The algorithm exists in many variants; Dijkstra's original variant found the shortest path between two nodes, but a more common variant fixes a single node as the "source node and finds shortest paths from the source to all other nodes in the graph, producing a shortest-path tree.
