Weekend Saved (At What Cost?)

Content LEVELS OF HELL: Limbo Lust Gluttony Greed Anger Heresy Violence Fraud Treachery Opening a bug report without a way to reproduce it and then harassing the maintainers to fix it

THE ABSOLUTE TRAGEDY of printf debugging in four acts! 😭 First, you confidently place your debug statement: "I'm here." Then the AUDACITY of your code to make you add "Here 1" and "Here 2" as you desperately try to narrow down where your program is imploding. And the GRAND FINALE? That pot of pure chaos showing your entire codebase vomiting error messages like a digital exorcism! Who needs fancy debuggers when you can just DROWN YOUR SORROWS in console output and pray to the coding gods that something makes sense?! The debugging equivalent of screaming into the void and having the void scream back with stack traces!

Ah, the utopian fantasy where developers actually use type systems properly instead of throwing AI at everything! Imagine a world where we didn't have to debug cryptic runtime errors at 2 AM because someone thought any was a perfectly acceptable type for everything. This futuristic paradise could be ours if people spent half the time they waste prompting ChatGPT on actually learning TypeScript properly. But no, we'd rather ask AI to generate 200 lines of untyped spaghetti code than write a proper interface. Who needs flying cars when you can have undefined is not a function?

The nuclear option to debugging: delete everything. Gilfoyle's nihilistic approach to software development is both terrifying and weirdly satisfying. Like that moment when you've spent 6 hours tracking down a bug and briefly consider setting fire to your entire codebase and changing careers. It's the programming equivalent of solving a Rubik's cube by peeling off all the stickers. Technically correct? Yes. Professional solution? Absolutely not. But the cold, hard logic is undeniable – code that doesn't exist can't have bugs.
