The ultimate logical trap for developers! First declaring "stupid people always say No," then asking "Are you stupid?" with Yes/No options creates the perfect paradox. Then some poor soul responds with "!Yes" - using the logical NOT operator to escape the trap, proving they're both a programmer AND clever. It's basically a Boolean logic escape hatch that only someone who writes code would think of. The logical equivalent of finding a backdoor in a verbal contract.

OH. MY. GOD. The absolute AUDACITY of this calculator! You input 7 × 5, expecting a boring old 35, and what do you get? "Hello World"?! SERIOUSLY?! 💀 When your first coding project is such a disaster that basic math transforms into introductory programming phrases. The calculator had ONE JOB—to calculate—but decided to have an existential crisis instead and greet the universe! This is what happens when you let your code decide its own career path without proper supervision!

The daily existential crisis of choosing between two identical array filters. One says x => x > 20 , the other says age => age > 20 . Both do exactly the same thing, but somehow this decision feels like defusing a bomb. Variable naming - the only place where developers sweat more than during a production outage.
