Content debugging de-buhg-ing -verb. 1. being the detective in a crime movie where you are also the murderer.

The code shows a simple function to add two numbers, then a recursive monstrosity that calls itself with the result. Meanwhile, Hollywood thinks this basic arithmetic is somehow "PLANTING MALWARE." This is peak r/itsaunixsystem material. Somewhere, a technical consultant is crying into their keyboard while a director proudly declares "make it more hackery!" The function literally just returns x + y, but apparently that's enough to bring down the Pentagon in movie logic. Next up: using a for loop will launch nuclear missiles, and printing "Hello World" will erase all student loan debt.

The eternal developer time estimation paradox strikes again. You start with that confident "I'll knock this out before lunch" energy, only to find yourself five hours later questioning your entire career choice and wondering if you should've just become a goat farmer instead. That "quick fix" turned into a rabbit hole of dependency hell, undocumented APIs, and Stack Overflow threads from 2013 that end with "nevermind, I figured it out" with zero explanation. Time estimation in software is basically astrology but with more caffeine and self-loathing.

The classic "age is just a number" platitude gets a perfect programmer's twist. In JavaScript and many other languages, what looks like a number is often silently converted to a string when you least expect it. That smug face in the third panel is every backend dev who's spent hours debugging why 18 + 1 = 181 instead of 19 . Type coercion: ruining perfectly good calculations since 1995.
