Why Does The Universe Hate My Copy-Paste Skills?

Content Programmers Stop using print statement as debugging tool OR draw 25

JavaScript's equality comparison is like that one friend who can't decide what they want for dinner. The console shows NaN === NaN returning false because in JS, each NaN is its own special snowflake. Two identical-looking "not a number" values? Nope, completely different according to JavaScript! The corporate "spot the difference" meme perfectly captures the absurdity - there's literally no difference between the two NaN cards, yet JavaScript insists they're not the same. It's the programming equivalent of gaslighting. Next time someone asks why developers drink, just show them this.

Ah, the ancient programmer trap in its natural habitat. Just prop up a milk crate with a stick, place StackOverflow, coffee, and a dark IDE theme underneath, and wait. Works every time. After 15 years in the industry, I can confirm this is basically our version of catnip. The dark theme alone would probably work, but why take chances? The coffee ensures we'll stay long enough to get caught, and StackOverflow guarantees we'll be distracted trying to explain why the accepted answer is actually wrong.

Content see your name a better duo stack overflow 2nd monitor And raise you 90 chrome tabs mocking you with 6 year old forum threads describing your exact problem with either no solution, someone linking to another completely unrelated thread asking "did you try this?", or ending in "nvm, I fixed it" 3rd monitor

The universal developer escape hatch strikes again! Nothing quite captures the cold sweat of a PM meeting like when they ask why the app is crawling like a turtle in molasses, and you're sitting there knowing full well it's probably because you're running it locally with 32GB RAM while production has the computing power of a toaster. The classic "works on my machine" defense is basically the developer equivalent of a kid saying "wasn't me" with chocolate all over their face. At this point, we should just start shipping our laptops to customers instead of code.

Nothing says "I panicked during a coding interview" quite like writing FizzBuzz with three separate if statements and continue in each one. The interviewer's face progression from neutral to facepalm to disbelief is the universal reaction to code that technically works but makes seasoned developers want to throw their mechanical keyboards out the window. Pro tip: If your solution has more continue statements than actual logic, your future teammates are already updating their resumes.
