Nothing says "I value our friendship" like asking for help with undocumented code featuring variables like x1, temp, and doTheThing(). That slow Kermit retreat is the physical manifestation of my soul leaving my body when I realize I'm about to waste 3 hours of my life deciphering someone's digital hieroglyphics. Pro tip: if you want help debugging, maybe name your variables something other than "stuff" and "idk" first.

Every Single Day: The Ctrl+C Betrayal

That moment of sheer panic when you realize you just pasted over your entire codebase instead of copying it. Eight years of muscle memory betraying you in a single keystroke. The true horror isn't the mistake—it's that split second before you remember Ctrl+Z exists. And let's be honest, we've all done this at 4:59 PM on a Friday right before a deployment.

O(n) Authentication: When Your Login System Is Also A Performance Test

The function loops through ALL USERS to find one with matching credentials instead of using a proper query. The comment is the chef's kiss: "This only works because there are not many users." It's like saying "my car doesn't need brakes because I don't drive fast." Bonus security nightmare: they're storing password hashes but comparing them directly instead of hashing the input password first. This authentication is basically a time bomb wrapped in spaghetti code!

The Forgotten Circle Of Developer Hell: Nintendo 3DS Browser Support

Imagine debugging JavaScript for a device that was obsolete before most of today's frameworks were even conceived. The poor soul who discovered this input event bug on a Nintendo 3DS browser in 2012 deserves a medal for their suffering. This StackOverflow archeological find showcases the special kind of hell reserved for developers who support legacy gaming consoles. While the rest of us complain about Safari bugs, somewhere out there is a developer forced to make their code work on a tiny dual-screen device with processing power comparable to a smart toaster. The second commenter's relief is palpable. Their "I'm glad my employer doesn't make me verify web code for Nintendo 3DS" might be the most sincere prayer of gratitude ever uttered in tech. Not all heroes wear capes—some just have employers with reasonable browser support requirements.
