The classic "if it hurts, stop measuring" approach to software development! Some intern just casually mentioned deleting tests because they were failing... which is like removing your smoke detector because the beeping was annoying while your house is on fire. The perfect representation of that colleague who thinks test-driven development means "drive the tests away when they give you trouble." Senior devs everywhere just felt a disturbance in the force, as if millions of git commits suddenly cried out in terror.

Ah, the classic code review battlefield! 🔥 Nothing triggers a developer's fight-or-flight response faster than hearing "Your code will work but I don't like the way it is implemented." It's like telling someone their baby is ugly but functional. 😂 We've all been there - spent hours crafting what we think is a masterpiece, only for some senior dev to casually suggest a "small refactor" that invalidates your entire approach. The code passes all tests? Runs perfectly? Doesn't matter! It's not elegant enough for their refined taste buds. This is basically the programming equivalent of starting a bar fight. Keyboards will fly, Stack Overflow links will be weaponized, and someone's going to end up crying into their mechanical keyboard at 2am while rewriting everything.

Ah yes, the classic "I need to convert an integer to binary so let me just check the Arduino forums" rabbit hole. Sure, bitRead() exists, but why use a simple built-in function when you can waste 3 hours writing your own implementation, debugging it until 2AM, and then finally discovering the function that was there all along? The real meta here is that we all pretend Stack Overflow isn't our first stop. "I'll figure it out myself" is just code for "I'll try for 5 minutes before frantically googling and copy-pasting someone else's solution while muttering 'I knew that' under my breath."
