It's Always The User's Fault

Mr. Krabs from SpongeBob keeping track of exactly how long we've gone without some AI-generated hallucination, bizarre prompt injection, or GitHub Copilot suggesting a security vulnerability as a "best practice." The counter remains stubbornly at zero, much like those workplace "days without an accident" signs that never make it past single digits. Just another Tuesday in the brave new world where we've all become unwitting QA testers for neural networks with confidence issues.

Content jenkinsnotleeroy 14h Interestingly, I've found that computer people, especially those that can write code are usually pretty good at most things due to a solid understanding of processes (algorithms) and debugging. It kind of scares me when I go to the doctor or a mechanic for my car and it quickly becomes apparent that though they are knowledgeable about their field their debuggingdiagnostic skills are not great. "Well, everything seems to be ok. We don't know why you fainted. You should be glad!" "Yes, I'm glad you found me to be in good health, but this also means you didn't find the bug in my biological system, so it's still there and not fixed."

The classic "things are easy when you've mastered them" pattern. Experienced C++ devs saying pointers aren't hard is like billionaires claiming money doesn't matter or supermodels saying looks are irrelevant. Meanwhile, the rest of us are still trying to figure out why our program just segfaulted because we dereferenced a null pointer for the 17th time today. Sure, pointers are "easy" after you've spent 5 years debugging memory leaks and dangling references.

Ah, the ultimate fingerprint for identifying stolen code—identical bugs! Bethesda didn't just catch Warner copying their code; they caught them copying their exact same bugs . It's like a thief stealing your car but forgetting to fix the broken radio that plays nothing but Kenny G at full volume. The irony is chef's-kiss perfect: Bethesda, a company notorious for shipping games with more bugs than features, using those very bugs as evidence in a lawsuit. "Your Honor, we can prove they stole our code because their game is just as broken as ours, in exactly the same ways!" It's like the digital equivalent of finding your missing sock in your neighbor's laundry—except the sock still has that weird hole you never got around to fixing.

Oh. My. GOD. The absolute TRAUMA of junior development in one perfect image! 😱 There's our poor, innocent Jr Dev having an existential crisis about remembering what their code actually does, while the Sr Dev - with their distinguished salt-and-pepper hair and that INFURIATING mustache of wisdom - just casually drops the most terrifying truth bomb in software engineering history! "That's the neat part. You don't." EXCUSE ME?! Are you telling me we're all just throwing spaghetti at digital walls and HOPING it sticks?! The audacity! The honesty! The horrifying accuracy! This is why documentation was invented, people - because our code is basically a mysterious ancient artifact the moment after we write it!
