Oh honey, you think you're a coding genius with your regex masterpiece? PLEASE! You've just created the programming equivalent of ancient hieroglyphics that even archaeologists would give up on! 💅 That beautiful Martin Fowler quote is SCREAMING at all you regex wizards who craft these incomprehensible one-liners that make future developers contemplate career changes. Sure, your computer understands it. Your colleagues? They're quietly plotting your demise while drowning in regex documentation.

Content Safari tries to fill username 25 Open ) quarterdeck opened this issue yesterday 8 comments quarterdeck commented yesterday What do you want to do? krisquarterdeck.co.uk From this website Other Usernames... 1 Course in Up Next quarterdeck commented 6 hours ago edited Author Upon further investigation this seems like an absolutely crazy Safari bug and I'm not sure if it can be worked around or not. I noticed that this was only happening on one page of our app. So I systematically commented out each section of HTML to see if any block was affecting it and I found one! 1 narrowed it down to a single p tag which contained the text "Welcome back,". I thought the comma might be causing an issue (no idea why) so I removed it. No change. I thought the word "back" might be making Safari think this was a login page for some reason? So I removed it and it fixed the issue! Crazy. Out of curiosity I tried removing "Welcome" and adding "back" back in. Still didn't re-occur. ?! So it seems only the combination of words "welcome back" causes this to happen. Absolutely no idea why. To confirm I chose another page randomly and put the phrase "welcome back" in a random position on the page and low and behold it caused this to happen again. For some reason the presence of these words on the page is adding the following to the Shadow DOM of the input field: div pseudo"-webkit-credentials-auto-fill-button" role "button" aria-label"password AutoFill" style-"display: Easily the most bizarre bug I've ever come across. 34 106 39 177

The eternal myth of the "naturally gifted" programmer gets absolutely demolished here. While some folks are busy romanticizing coding skills as divine intervention or genetic lottery, the disheveled coder with bags under their eyes knows the brutal truth—they've just been grinding away for hours. No magic, no supernatural talent, just the unglamorous reality of putting in the work. This is basically the programming equivalent of "how did you get so good at guitar?" while conveniently ignoring the callused fingers and thousands of hours of practice. The wide-eyed admirer wants a shortcut that doesn't exist, but our hero's tired face tells the whole story without saying it: "I haven't slept properly in three days because I was debugging this nightmare."
