The Four Stages Of API Hell

The Four Stages Of API Hell
The FOUR STAGES OF API HELL, darling! ๐Ÿ’€ First, you're ECSTATIC because you got a 200 response! You're practically throwing a parade for yourself! ๐ŸŽ‰ Then the BETRAYAL hits - call actually failed but they had the AUDACITY to send a 200 with an exception stack trace buried in the response! The DRAMA! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ Next, you're playing detective with ZERO documentation, squinting at your screen like you're trying to decode ancient hieroglyphics! Sherlock Holmes could NEVER! ๐Ÿ” And finally, the ultimate insult - having to include the framework in your request body AS A HEADER?! What kind of sadistic monster designed this API? I can't even! This is why developers drink! ๐Ÿธ

This Parameter Exists For Historical Reasons

This Parameter Exists For Historical Reasons
The JavaScript pushState() function has an unused parameter that literally does nothing but can't be removed because... backward compatibility! ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ It's like that one useless function parameter that's been in your codebase for 5 years and everyone's too scared to remove it because "something might break." The documentation even admits it with a straight face: "This parameter exists for historical reasons, and cannot be omitted." The red scribbles perfectly capture every developer's reaction: "??? WTF" - which is basically the official technical term for legacy code maintenance.
