I Was There When It Was Written

The senior developer staring into your soul with that thousand-yard stare isn't just finding bugs—they're having flashbacks to when they wrote that monstrosity at 2am fueled by nothing but desperation and energy drinks. They don't need debugging tools. They remember exactly which caffeine-induced hallucination led to that particular line of code. It's not intuition; it's PTSD with syntax highlighting.

Best I Can Do Is Walk

Ah, the classic developer self-burn. When your code refuses to run, so you decide to go for a run yourself... only to discover your cardiovascular system has the same compilation errors as your project. Nothing like realizing your physical fitness is just as deprecated as your programming skills. At least your code has a valid excuse—it was written by you. What's your body's excuse after years of "I'll exercise tomorrow" commits that never got pushed?

AI Bubblesort: Technically Correct, Practically Useless

Behold, the elevator panel that perfectly captures what happens when you ask AI to sort a list! The floors are in complete lexicographical order instead of numerical order because, well, that's technically sorting. Just like when you ask ChatGPT to organize your music and it puts "10 Things I Hate About You" soundtrack before "2Pac" because string comparison doesn't understand numbers. The AI followed instructions perfectly... and completely missed the point. Somewhere, a programmer is screaming about how they should have used parseInt() or a natural sort algorithm instead of letting the intern train the model on Stack Overflow answers.

Im A Slow Programmer Okay

Oh the sweet victory of finishing Advent of Code Day 25... in February! 🎉 When you're staring at ASCII art code challenges for so long that your dreams have syntax highlighting! The formal announcement of completion paired with that "yes I know I'm two months late" disclaimer is peak programmer energy. Finishing AOC challenges is like running a marathon where everyone else crossed the finish line weeks ago, but you're still celebrating with your arms up because HEY YOU ACTUALLY FINISHED IT!

Bug Report Tail Recursion

Bug Report Tail Recursion

The infinite loop of despair that is modern tech support. First, you find a problem with a service. Then, like a responsible citizen of the digital realm, you attempt to report it. But wait! The universe has a cruel sense of humor—the very form you need to submit to report the bug... has a bug itself. So you're stuck in this beautiful recursive nightmare where you can't report the bug because of another bug that you can't report because of the bug you were trying to report in the first place. It's like needing scissors to open a package of scissors. Whoever designed this system probably also enjoys watching people try to exit vim for the first time.
