The Tech Support Triangle Of Doom

Content You have invented a device that can translate thoughts into video You hook it up to a dying old man. You will glimpse past the veil of death As the man dies, all you see on your screen is the word "ERROR" You never programmed an error message into the device reddit

Content THE SEEMINGLY HARD TASK (OOF..THIS TASK IS PROBABLY GONNA TAKE ME A WHILE - I NEVER EVEN LEARNED THIS BEFORE! THE SEEMINGLY EASY TASK A LITTLE VI ISSUE? THIS SHOULD TAKE ME 5 MINUTES TOPS. AND THAT WASN'T SO BAD ONLY TOOK 10 MINUTES AFTER FINDING THAT ANSWER ON STACKOVERFLOW! AND BY NOW, IT'S BEEN 23 YEARS, 4 MONTHS, 8 DAYS AND IT'S STILL NOT FIXED YET!

OH. MY. GOD. That traffic light is LITERALLY my codebase right now! Hanging by a thread, defying all laws of software engineering, yet somehow still signaling "STOP" like a boss! 💅 The absolute AUDACITY of that red light to keep functioning when it should have crashed and burned ages ago. It's giving "I wrote this at 3 AM fueled by energy drinks and spite" energy and I am LIVING for it! We've all been there - your code is held together with digital duct tape and prayers, but somehow it passes all the tests. Ship it, honey! If it works, DON'T TOUCH IT!

Backend developers faced with the choice between writing custom SQL queries or using an ORM that generates 25 unnecessary joins? *Grabs entire deck* After 5 years of optimizing database performance, you learn that sometimes it's easier to just write the damn query yourself than debug why your fancy framework is pulling 200MB of data for what should be a simple lookup.

Content CC CC Program Compiler Learn and code in C C GET In-App Purchases Jrmarion510 I tried running a basic c program: include iostream using namespace std; int main() cout "hello world" endl; return 0; Does not run. I just get error messages. Developer Response 2y ago Hello, you are missing a at the start. It should be include instead of include . The error messages are meant to show errors in your codes; they are not a malfunction of the app.

Y2K but make it space. Future programmers will stare into the void just like this when they realize all their systems store years as 4-digit integers. The face of a developer who just calculated how many legacy codebases need refactoring across thousands of planets. That's not exhaustion—that's the realization that management approved the budget for exactly half the time needed to fix it. Fun fact: The original Y2K bug cost $300 billion to fix. The Y10K bug will probably cost whatever the galactic equivalent of "your firstborn child and your retirement fund" is.
