The eternal developer purgatory: staring at an error message that might as well be written in ancient Sumerian. "Bad argument on line 237" — thanks for narrowing it down to just the entire function. Modern languages with their PhDs and billions in funding still can't tell you what you did wrong without making you feel like you're decoding the Enigma.

The perfect visual representation of code reviews. That diagram shows a conference call speaker with everyone huddled at the edges, as far away from the microphone as physically possible—just like programmers who write cryptic code but mysteriously vanish when it's time to explain their "genius" in comments. Jeff Atwood's quote is basically the programmer's version of "actions speak louder than words, but we still need the words because your actions make absolutely no sense."

Content want you to act as rubber duck so I can implement the "rubber duck debbuging" technique. Do not reply any response at all. Do not type code blocks or comments either. You must keep absolutely silent no matter what I say. Okay, I will act as a rubber duck and remain silent. I have a problem with my sequelize User model. It is generating fields names in both PascalCase and snakecase. The fields with this problem are build automatically by a many to many relation generator. (silent) O Try again
