I Cannot Reproduce It Allthe Time

Ah, the Python optimization course that promises to "Increase Execution Time." Nothing says efficiency like making your code run slower. Clearly, the developer who wrote this was optimizing for job security rather than performance. 14,057 students apparently decided their code was running too fast and needed to be throttled. Maybe they're all working at places that bill by the hour.

Childhood: "I'll make the next World of Warcraft but with better graphics and cooler weapons!" Reality: Spending 6 months debugging collision detection only to have your game downloaded by your mom and that one supportive friend who gives it a 5-star review despite never making it past the loading screen. The gap between gaming fantasy and game dev reality is basically the distance between "I'm having fun" and "I'm questioning every life choice while staring at a semicolon for three hours."

OH. MY. GOD. The sheer AUDACITY of adding ONE MORE FEATURE to code that's already a tangled nightmare of spaghetti highways! 💀 That simple little "1001st thing" transforms your beautiful intersection into an absolute HELLSCAPE of confusion! And honey, when it's someone else's code? You might as well throw your computer out the window and change careers! That one tiny requirement is the difference between sanity and needing therapy for the next six months! The mental breakdown is not a possibility—it's SCHEDULED!

Oh, the sacred archetypes of code warriors! The Paladin with their holy linter crusade (because tabs vs spaces wasn't divisive enough). The Monk crafting artisanal frameworks while typing on a Model M keyboard that sounds like a machine gun. The Sorcerer whose one-liners are so cryptic they might as well be summoning demons—their code works through sheer dark magic until Mercury goes retrograde. The Warlock maintaining COBOL systems from the 1970s, bound by ancient contracts and the souls of retired programmers. And finally, the Bard, whose documentation haikus somehow charm project managers into extending deadlines. The most terrifying part? We all know at least one of each in our dev team. And if you don't... it might be you.
