Poor Kids Thrown Into The Legacy Code Abyss

So you used to write beautiful comments explaining every function, every variable, every decision? Yeah, those were simpler times. Then ChatGPT dropped and suddenly your entire codebase became AI-generated spaghetti that you barely understand yourself. Now your "well-commented code" is just cryptic AI outputs with maybe a desperate "TODO: figure out what this does" thrown in. The innocence is gone. The trust is shattered. You're just a prompt engineer now, copy-pasting mysterious code blocks and praying they work. Welcome to the post-2022 developer experience where comments are a luxury from a bygone era and Stack Overflow feels like ancient history.

OH. MY. GOD. That moment when you're mid-champagne celebration and your soul literally LEAVES YOUR BODY because you just remembered you skipped the database backup step! 🥂💀 The project manager is still living in blissful ignorance while you're having an existential crisis behind those ridiculous green sunglasses. Your face says "party" but your brain is screaming "WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE WHEN PRODUCTION CRASHES IN 3...2...1..." Nothing says "software development" quite like that stomach-dropping realization that your career is about to implode while everyone else is toasting to your imminent demise!

Content When the management makes a move without devs approval and proper testing. o redolit Use App Switching to Linux caused our apps to malfunction Hello everybody! Recently, our management decided that switching to the Linux OS would be better. Before that, everyone could work on what they preferred, either macOS or Windows. But, we'd heard a lot of positive feedback about Linux when it comes to managing work processes. That app was developed years ago and ran like a well-oiled machine. The developer gave us the EXE format file. It perfectly runs on Windows, while macOS users could run it through the WineBottler app. We'd never had any bugs with it until we switched to Linux. As far as I know, Linux has no issues reading and running the EXE format files. Sometimes the apps simply can't connect to the internet to get the info from the seaports. Moreover, it stopped recognizing some seaports even though they are still operating. It's become impossible to work in those conditions.

Ah, C programming—where memory management is an extreme sport and preprocessor macros are basically chaos magic. First tip: redefining struct union to save memory. Yeah, that's like saying you'll save gas by removing your car's brakes. Second tip: making while into if for speed. Sure, and I make my servers faster by unplugging them. The debugging one is pure evil genius—randomly failing conditions based on bitwise operations. Nothing says "job security" like code that only breaks on Tuesdays when Mercury is in retrograde.

You know that smug feeling when you tell the team "we don't have time for tests, we'll write them later"? Yeah, later just arrived. Production's on fire, users are screaming, and you're staring at a bug that would've taken 30 seconds to catch with a basic unit test. But hey, you saved what, 10 minutes? Now you get to spend 3 hours debugging at 2 AM on a Friday while your manager CC's the entire engineering org on the incident report. The consequences-of-my-own-actions pipeline is now in full deployment mode. Fun fact: Studies show that fixing bugs in production costs 10-100x more than catching them during development. But sure, skip those tests. What could possibly go wrong?
