This Bug Didn't Stump Me For Two Weeks I Swear

The ENTIRE TRAGIC EXISTENCE of a programmer summed up in one image! 😭 We start as innocent babes, then BOOM—middle age hits and we're screaming "I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS CODE ISN'T WORKING!" while pulling our hair out. Then the ULTIMATE BETRAYAL happens! Just when we finally get our code working, we have absolutely NO IDEA why it's working! And then we DIE. That's it. That's the whole programmer lifecycle. No glory, no understanding—just confusion from cradle to grave! The yellow line of despair just keeps plummeting downward like our will to live during a production outage!

Ah, the ancient art of regex debugging. Just like this archaeologist examining hieroglyphics with a magnifying glass, you're squinting at a wall of cryptic symbols that made perfect sense to whoever wrote them 3000 years ago. You'll spend hours deciphering why your pattern matches "bobcat" but not "bob cat" only to realize you forgot a single whitespace character. Future civilizations will discover your corpse, still clutching your keyboard, with the regex /^(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*\d)(?=.*[@$!%*?&])[A-Za-z\d@$!%*?&]{8,}$/ carved into your tombstone.

The Mona Lisa of debugging sessions. Four hours past your intended bedtime, and there you are, still whispering sweet nothings to your code that refuses to cooperate. That slight smile isn't artistic genius—it's the delirious grin of someone who's forgotten what sleep feels like but is too stubborn to admit defeat. "Just one more prompt to the AI and surely it'll fix my code this time." Narrator: It did not fix the code.

You think your spaghetti code is worth hiding because it might make you money? Please. I hide my code because if anyone saw those nested if-statements and variable names like temp1 , temp2 , and please_work_final_v3 , I'd never get hired again. My GitHub is a carefully curated lie that bears no resemblance to the eldritch horrors I commit to private repos at 4AM.
