JavaScript Be Making You Rich

Looks like someone forgot to handle their price exceptions in production. That electronic shelf label is just screaming "null null" where a price should be - the digital equivalent of a store clerk throwing their hands up and saying "I have no freaking idea what this costs anymore." Even the database is feeling the economic crisis. Can't afford to store actual values these days, just pointers to nothing. Somewhere a backend developer is getting a frantic call while pretending they didn't see the Slack notification.

The creator of timezones gets a special place in programmer hell - and rightfully so! Anyone who's ever had to debug a production issue at 3 AM because some function couldn't handle UTC offsets deserves a medal... and therapy. That moment when your perfectly working code suddenly breaks because someone in another country clicked a button? Pure digital torture. The inventor definitely earned that "Extra Hell" VIP pass. Next circle: whoever created daylight savings time.

When your Discord registration is secretly running on a 486 processor from 1992. Ten minutes to check a nickname? In that time I could compile the Linux kernel, refactor my entire codebase, AND question all my life choices that led me to this moment. The spinning circle of doom is probably just a single-threaded function checking if your nickname contains any forbidden characters while simultaneously mining cryptocurrency on the side.

When you realize that actual spiders are the only creatures on the planet who get excited to find bugs in their web... while the rest of us frontend devs are having existential crises over that one pixel misalignment in Safari. The irony is painful. Nature's web developers have their priorities straight—they literally HUNT for bugs while we hide from them. Next sprint planning I'm just going to say "Sorry, can't fix that bug, I'm not biologically programmed like a spider."

The perfect fusion of React hooks and nuclear physics! The top panel shows our cool developer initializing a state with useState(0) - calm, collected, sunglasses on. But the bottom panel reveals what happens next: useEffect incrementing that counter and BOOM - nuclear chain reaction begins! Just like in a reactor, one small state change triggers an endless loop of updates, causing your app to melt down faster than Chernobyl. This is why senior devs sweat profusely when junior devs forget dependency arrays. Pure computational fission!
