The Uncalled Function Mystery

functions-memes, debugging-memes, facepalm-memes, programming-basics-memes, code-fails-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

Spent 45 minutes debugging a function that wasn't returning a value, only to realize I never actually called the function in the first place. That moment of realization hits like a ton of bricks—you go from frantically searching for complex bugs to discovering you're the bug. It's like building an entire spaceship and forgetting to press the launch button. The compiler's just sitting there thinking, "I can't believe this human has a CS degree."

I Am Not Worried About AI

The iceberg metaphor is painfully accurate. After 15 years in the industry, I can confirm that typing out the actual code is the easy 10% that everyone sees. The other 90%? That's the soul-crushing existential void of figuring out what to code in the first place. AI can generate syntax all day long, but good luck getting it to understand the business logic buried in 47 conflicting Slack messages, 3 outdated Jira tickets, and that one crucial requirement your PM mentioned offhandedly during a coffee break last Tuesday.

Create More Work

Ah, the classic developer trap. Client says "just change this one button color" and suddenly you're staring at 5-year-old legacy code thinking "who wrote this abomination and why did they hate future-me so much?" That innocent "simple change request" always reveals the technical debt lurking in the shadows, and before you know it, you've convinced yourself that rewriting the entire module is the only reasonable option. The real joke? Your estimation of "2 hours" just became "2 weeks" and management still doesn't understand why.
