The Sacred Trinity Of IT Problem Solving

Behold, the "ML Engineer" who discovered that Python sorts strings alphabetically instead of numerically! The horror! Next breaking news: water is wet. What we're witnessing here is the classic "I didn't read the docs but it's definitely the language's fault" syndrome. Python's sorted() is working perfectly—it's sorting ["9%", "83%", "25%"] as strings, exactly as it should when you give it strings. Pro tip for our aspiring "ML Engineer": try sorted([int(x.strip('%')) for x in a]) next time. Or maybe stick to Excel?

Oh, the ABSOLUTE TRAGEDY of hardware upgrades! 😭 You spend your entire paycheck on that shiny new SSD, convinced it's going to transform your computer into a LITERAL ROCKET SHIP, only for the universe to CRUSH YOUR DREAMS when you hit the power button and... NOTHING. HAPPENS. The emotional rollercoaster from "I am a tech GENIUS" to "Did I just destroy my entire system?" happens faster than an SSD can fail to POST. That moment when your excited SpongeBob face morphs into dead-inside SpongeBob is the purest form of tech heartbreak known to mankind.

The eternal dance between developers and specifications! First they ask if you followed the spec, and you confidently say "YUP." Then they ask if you read it again, and you double down with another "YUP." But when they actually compare your implementation to the spec... surprise! Your code is doing its own interpretive dance routine that barely resembles what was requested. Yet somehow when asked a final time if you followed the spec, you're still answering "YUP" with the unwavering confidence of someone who's never been wrong in their life. This is basically every code review I've ever been part of. Specs are more like vague suggestions anyway, right?
