If It's Stupid And It Works, It Ain't Stupid

That smug satisfaction when your 3 AM code abomination—complete with seven nested ternary operators and a random sleep(1)—somehow fixes the production bug that's been haunting your team for weeks. Sure, nobody (including you) will understand how it works tomorrow, but right now you're the office hero with your digital duct tape solution. Future you can deal with the technical debt; present you is too busy basking in undeserved glory.

Why Aren't My Comments Working?

The irony is just *chef's kiss*. Developer leaves TODOs to add comments and use proper Python style, but writes them as comments themselves. It's like leaving a note saying "remember to write notes" and then wondering why nothing gets done. The squiggly underlines are just the IDE screaming in digital agony at the self-referential paradox. Seven years of coding experience and I still have projects with TODOs from 2018 that are technically "in progress."
