I Don't Think This Should Be In Prod

Nothing says "we ship fast" quite like a production payment page displaying "TODO UPDATE MAPPING" as your credit card details. Someone definitely merged that PR on a Friday afternoon and peaced out for the weekend.

The best part? It's on Hulu's secure checkout page. You know, where people enter their actual payment information. That TODO comment has probably been sitting in the codebase since 2019, survived multiple code reviews, passed all the tests (because who writes tests for display text?), and made it all the way to production where it's now charging real customers real money.

This is what happens when your CI/CD pipeline is too good at its job. Deploy early, deploy often, deploy your TODO comments directly to paying customers.

And A Million Vibe Coders Cried Out In Pain

Ah, the Cloudflare challenge screen. The digital bouncer that shows up right when you're about to download that framework you need to finish your project at 3 AM. Nothing says "your deadline means nothing to me" like being asked to prove you're human when you're barely feeling human anymore. Just another day where the internet's security measures assume your IP is suspicious because you've Googled "how to center a div" 47 times in the last hour.

Dev Team Be Like: It's MVP Ready

Ah, the classic "MVP" that management is so proud of. Two bikes duct-taped together with all the structural integrity of a house of cards built during an earthquake. The backend developer's purple bike looks somewhat functional but outdated, while the frontend is a flashy green monstrosity that barely connects to anything. And that REST API in the middle? Just plastic wrap and prayers holding the entire architecture together. Yet somehow this contraption is deemed "production ready" by people who've never written a line of code. This is what happens when the deadline was "yesterday" and the budget was "whatever's in the vending machine."

When Programmers Fall In Love

Ah, the classic "I'll solve my relationship problems with code" approach. Dude built an entire app when a text message would've worked fine. Peak programmer behavior—overengineering a simple solution while thinking they're being romantic. The real kicker? He probably spent 12 hours debugging network issues just so she can virtually tap him on the shoulder. Next version will include a Kubernetes cluster to manage their dinner plans.

Please Stop The Framework Carousel

The eternal struggle between Junior Devs who've just discovered the hot new framework and Senior Devs who've survived 17 framework migrations already. That clenched fist isn't for punching—it's from the physical pain of hearing "let's rewrite everything" for the 5th time this year. The SrDev's face perfectly captures that special mix of trauma, exhaustion, and "I will end you if you suggest Angular 17 when we just finished migrating to Vue." Nothing says "experienced developer" like the thousand-yard stare of someone who knows exactly how many production bugs that migration will cause.
