It's Always The User's Fault

B WIKIPEDIA Q Rubber duck debugging Article Talk XA In software engineering, rubber duck debugging is a method of debugging code by articulating a problem in spoken or written natural language. The name is a reference to a story in the book The Pragmatic Programmer in which a programmer would carry around a rubber duck and debug their code by forcing themselves to explain it, line-by- line, to the duck.! Many other terms exist for this technique, often involving different (usually) inanimate objects, or pets such as a dog or a cat. A rubber duck in use by a developer to aid code review

The four stages of debugging grief in one Discord chat: Confidence: "yea" - I got this! Panic: "WHY DOES MY CODE BREAK I DIDNT DO ANYTHING" - the universal cry of developers everywhere who swear they only changed one tiny thing Realization: "oh" - that moment when you spot your missing semicolon or extra bracket Surrender: "nvm" - the programming equivalent of "let's pretend this never happened" The beauty is in how quickly we cycle through these emotions. One minute you're screaming into the void, the next you're quietly closing your IDE tab hoping nobody noticed your catastrophic typo.

The duality of Google's AI strategy in its full glory! Upper text: "25% of new Google code is AI-generated." Lower graph: "Massive spike in Google outages." That red spike isn't just a graph—it's the visualization of what happens when your AI autocompletes semicolons with emojis and replaces error handling with "try { } catch (e) { // TODO: fix later lol }". Correlation doesn't imply causation... but that spike is suspiciously vertical right when the AI started writing production code. Coincidence? I think not!

The quintessential developer evolution captured in one perfect meme! Junior devs frantically try to memorize what every line of their code actually does, while senior devs have transcended to a higher plane of existence where they just... don't. After years of typing git commit -m "fix stuff" and console.log('why god why') , you eventually reach the zen-like state where your fingers write code your brain doesn't even fully comprehend anymore. The code works? Ship it! Documentation? That's what comments were invented for (that you'll never actually write).

Behold, the "ML Engineer" who discovered that Python sorts strings alphabetically instead of numerically! The horror! Next breaking news: water is wet. What we're witnessing here is the classic "I didn't read the docs but it's definitely the language's fault" syndrome. Python's sorted() is working perfectly—it's sorting ["9%", "83%", "25%"] as strings, exactly as it should when you give it strings. Pro tip for our aspiring "ML Engineer": try sorted([int(x.strip('%')) for x in a]) next time. Or maybe stick to Excel?
