It's Always The User's Fault

Ah, the classic SQL query written by someone who clearly learned database access from a fortune cookie. The SQL is backwards—it should be "SELECT * FROM Customers" but they've written "FROM Customers SELECT *". The real chef's kiss is that this is wrapped in a method called "GetCustomersQuery" inside a class called "Query" which is also creating an object called "query" of type "Query.Query". It's like naming your dog "Dog" and then calling your dog's puppy "Dog.Dog" and then teaching it a trick called "GetDogTrick()". Four years of computer science for this masterpiece. 💀

The eternal mystery of copy-pasted code that refuses to work despite being "identical" to the tutorial. That moment of pure bewilderment when you've triple-checked every character and somehow your version still crashes while the tutorial runs flawlessly. Is it invisible characters? A missing dependency? Different runtime versions? The universe conspiring against you? No one knows, but it's enough to make you question your entire career choice while reaching for whatever alcohol is closest. The teddy bear's expression perfectly captures that mix of confusion, betrayal, and existential dread that comes right before you notice the tutorial was written 7 years ago.

Companies pretending they're protecting "intellectual property" when the real reason they won't open source their code is because it's a horrifying mess of spaghetti logic, hardcoded credentials, and comments like "// TODO: fix this before demo (2018)". The corporate PR spin: "Our proprietary algorithms give us competitive advantage!" The actual codebase: 47 nested if-statements and a function called hack_it_until_it_works() that somehow powers the entire billing system.
