The Unreproducible Bug Paradox

Every developer's nightmare: spending days debugging that "impossible" bug only for some speedrunner to reliably reproduce it with bizarre hardware configurations. You meticulously document "not reproducible" in JIRA, close the ticket, and BAM—someone with an overclocked GPU and 37 Chrome tabs finds it instantly. Then when you fix THAT specific edge case, another one appears! The endless cycle of "it works on my machine" followed by the crushing realization that your code is at the mercy of hardware chaos. The skeleton represents your soul leaving your body after the fifth "actually, I can reproduce it every time" email.
