The Irresistible Console.log Affair

The AUDACITY of modern development! While the rest of us are drowning in Stack Overflow tabs and questioning our career choices, "vibe coders" are out here summoning AI agents with mystical cauldrons and threatening them with PUNISHMENT if they don't fix bugs! 💀 It's giving "I don't debug, I just intimidate my code until it works" energy. The AI agent in that cauldron is probably thinking "I didn't get trained on 10 trillion parameters for THIS kind of toxic workplace environment!" Meanwhile, the rest of us are manually fixing array indices like PEASANTS.

The classic "it works on my machine" defense gets brutally dismantled by the PM's logic. Sure, your dev environment with its perfectly configured IDE, custom environment variables, and that one obscure dependency you installed six months ago works flawlessly. But the PM's got a point—shipping your entire workstation to production isn't exactly in the budget. The developer's smug confidence crumbles faster than a Node.js app without error handling. Now they actually have to document their setup, figure out why it breaks everywhere else, and maybe—just maybe—learn what Docker is for. The PM sitting there like a boss knowing they just won the argument is chef's kiss. Fun fact: This exact conversation is why containerization became a thing. Turns out "works on my machine" became such a meme that the entire industry built tools to make your machine everyone's machine.

Content I see this as an absolute win!

Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should . This code is the programming equivalent of naming your twins "Twin1" and "Twin2" then wondering why they need therapy. Using keywords as variable names, declaring const const , setting 5 = 4 , and claiming 2 + 2 === 5 is true? This isn't just cursed code—it's the kind of abomination that makes senior devs wake up in cold sweats. Future maintainers will hunt you down. Not to ask questions, but for revenge.

Nothing says "bug-free code" like having four military officials with notepads watching your every keystroke. That developer's sweating bullets harder than a junior dev during their first code review. The ultimate "works on my machine" scenario - because nobody dares say otherwise when the boss is literally standing over your shoulder ready to "document" any failures. Talk about extreme pair programming!

When your colleague says they're "on their way to fix your bug" but their license plate literally spells "0WW2FYB" (Oh wait to fix your bug). The debugging equivalent of saying "I'll be there in 5 minutes" while still in bed. That bug report you submitted last sprint? Yeah, it's now a vintage collectible.
