Content THE RACE CONDITION THAT JUST FIXED FIXING IT UNBLOCKED ANOTHER RACE CONDITION THAT WROTE BAD DATA INTO THE DATABASE

Ah yes, the infamous [object Object] — JavaScript's way of saying "I tried to convert an object to a string and failed spectacularly." Some poor developer forgot to extract the actual email property and just dumped the entire user object into the template. Now Virgin Media's customer is being addressed as a literal JavaScript error. Nothing says "we value your business" like exposing your serialization bugs in customer communications. This is why we can't have nice things in production.

The modern developer's secret weapon: copy-pasting AI-generated code without understanding a single line of it. Nothing says "senior engineer" like frantically Googling what your own code does when someone asks about it. The best part? That magical moment when you realize you've been confidently deploying code that you've essentially been taking dictation on. "It validates form data" is just fancy speak for "I have absolutely no idea what this eldritch horror does but it hasn't crashed production yet."

The ultimate API gaslighting experience! Your request gets a perfect HTTP 200 OK status code, signaling all is well in the universe. Then the response body hits you with {"error": true} . It's like your server saying "Yes, I received your request perfectly! Also, everything is on fire." The digital equivalent of someone nodding enthusiastically while whispering "absolutely not." REST APIs that can't even be honest about their emotional state deserve their own special circle in developer hell.
