THE AUDACITY! Spend your ENTIRE ACADEMIC CAREER having "copying is unacceptable" drilled into your skull, only to enter the workforce where programmers are literally PROUD of stealing code! 💅 That moment when one dev confesses "Bro, I copied your code" and the other just shrugs "It's not my code" is the ULTIMATE BETRAYAL of everything education promised! Meanwhile, StackOverflow and GitHub exist SOLELY so we can copy each other's solutions without having to think! The education system LIED TO US! Welcome to professional programming, where "copying" magically transforms into "code reuse" and "leveraging existing solutions" the second you get that paycheck! DRAMATIC GASP!

Someone did this about 7 years ago and the recursive hydration would make a tweet service crash by simply loading the tweet in a browser. It took a principal engineer an entire day of wading through heap dumps to figure out what was happening. 6 17 102 956

The perfect documentation of programmer naming hell. When Twitter rebranded to "X," some poor dev somewhere had to refactor thousands of variables from sensible names like "tweet" to... "x"? And what's the verb now? "X-ing"? This is what happens when marketing decisions crash into code bases. Somewhere, a senior developer is drinking straight from the bottle while staring at search-and-replace results that broke 47 unit tests.
