It's Happening: Debugging vs. Vibe Checks

Regular Pooh: Cramming all your logic into a single conditional statement like some kind of barbaric code caveman. Tuxedo Pooh: Creating descriptive boolean variables that make your code self-documenting and actually readable by humans who aren't trying to decode the Da Vinci code. The real high IQ move isn't writing clever one-liners—it's writing code that won't make your future self contemplate a career change when you revisit it in six months.

OH. MY. GOD. Someone actually wrote a function that loops through EVERY NUMBER from 0 to x just to check if a number is even or odd?! 💀 Instead of using the BASIC MODULO OPERATOR that exists in LITERALLY EVERY PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE, this psychopath decided "you know what would be fun? Let's make the computer count to potentially INFINITY and then return True if i equals 1 or 2!" The absolute AUDACITY to write if i == 1: return True for even numbers and if i == 2: return True for odd numbers has me SCREAMING into my mechanical keyboard! This is what happens when you code at 4am after your fifth energy drink!

Content hi web developer, i need you to fix this thing that's happening on our website that only happens on my computer because i have 30 browser extensions and an environment that's impossible to troubleshoot thanks, one client per day

Content Why? Why? Why? Oh, that's why

The eternal standoff between developers and image formats. You tell the client "It's a PNG with transparency!" but the browser renders it with a white background anyway because you actually saved it as a JPG. The client's trust is gone forever, just like those transparent pixels you promised. Next time, maybe check the file extension before making promises your image format can't keep.

The corporate tech joy ride that ends in a ditch. First, management gets ChatGPT Enterprise and everyone's excited. Then they add Windsurf and the party continues. Soon developers are "vibe coding" instead of writing proper tests. Finally, the AI is reviewing pull requests, and that's when your phone rings at 3 AM because production is on fire. Nothing says "career advancement" like explaining to the CTO why an AI approved code that deleted the customer database because it had "good vibes."
