When You Don't Fix The Error Code On Friday

The most profound truth in software development, delivered with zero lies detected. That "quick fix" you implemented on Friday with plans to refactor on Monday? Congratulations, it's now running critical infrastructure for the next decade. The irony is exquisite - we write documentation for our "temporary" hacks more detailed than our actual architecture because deep down we know that duct-taped monstrosity will outlive us all. Future developers will build religions around your commented "TODO: fix this properly later" from 2015.

Content Don't work hard work intelligent Client: Hello, so I ordered 1000 cubes for my home made pyramid but you sent me 998 ones and 2 spheres. Boss: What do you mean, we don't even sell spheres. Client: Well, apparently one of your employees spent the entire work day cutting two of them into spheres so he can roll them. Boss: Oh lord, it was probably John, he is kind of an idiot. We will fix this as soon as possible. Client: Thanks a lot.

The gambling industry and AI coding have more in common than your bank account would like to admit. Both involve throwing money at a system with questionable odds of success. Sure, one involves tokens instead of chips, but the dopamine hit when your prompt actually works is suspiciously similar to hitting triple sevens. The real kicker is how we lie to ourselves. "One more prompt and this bug will disappear" is just the programmer's version of "one more spin and I'll win it all back." Meanwhile, the cursor blinks mockingly as you realize you've spent four hours trying to get an AI to write a function that would've taken you 20 minutes to code yourself. Congratulations on your new career as a "prompt engineer." It's just gambling with better LinkedIn optics.

The corporate-to-English dictionary nobody asked for but everyone needs. After 15 years in this industry, I've developed a finely-tuned BS detector for job listings. "Cutting edge technology" just means you'll be using React like literally everyone else. And that "fast-paced environment"? Translation: your hair will be on fire while management keeps asking why you're not coding faster. My personal favorite is "urgent need" – code for "our last developer rage-quit and left zero documentation." The whole "rockstar developer" thing is particularly rich... sure, I'd love to work 80-hour weeks for the same pay as 40! And don't get me started on "self-starter" which really means "we have absolutely no idea what we're doing, but we'll blame you when it fails." Print this out and keep it next to your desk for the next time you're job hunting. You'll need it to decode what you're actually signing up for.
