That Moment You Realize Where The Bug Is... Or Isn't

First panel: The pure, unbridled joy of seeing "Error on line 265" and thinking you've finally tracked down that elusive bug.

Second panel: The crushing realization that line 265 is just a lonely curly brace closing a function that returns true. Meanwhile, the actual bug is probably lurking in some perfectly innocent-looking line that doesn't trigger any errors.

It's the classic developer's roller coaster - from "I've got you now!" to "...wait, what?" in 0.2 seconds. The compiler's just toying with your emotions at this point. Seven years of experience and we're still getting bamboozled by closing brackets.

The Unreachable Code Jedi Mind Trick

The oldest trick in the developer handbook: wrapping problematic code in an if (true) block with a return statement instead of properly commenting it out. Top panel: Java compiler screaming "unreachable statement" because those Star Wars lightsaber sound effects will never execute after the return . Bottom panel: The developer feeling smug after "fixing" the issue by wrapping the return in an if (true) block, tricking the compiler into thinking those ridiculous sound effects might actually run someday. Nine years of software engineering experience and we're still pulling stunts like this instead of using version control like adults.
