Slapping On A .Expect Is Also Error Handling!

8 hours ago 91.8K views 0 shares

The eternal cycle of Rust developers. First panel: "OH NO!" - when they realize their code might panic. Second panel: "ANYWAY" - as they slap on a .expect("This will never happen") and continue coding like nothing happened. It's basically the programming equivalent of putting duct tape over a check engine light. Sure, your code compiles, but that error is just waiting to blow up in production.

The God Level Version Control

Git Devops Windows Programming

Ah yes, the most sophisticated version control system: hiding your .git folder inside the Windows directory. Because nothing says "I trust my code management skills" like burying your repository next to system files where no mortal dares to tread. Security through obscurity at its finest. The digital equivalent of hiding your house key under a rock that says "Not a key here."

That moment when your junior dev discovers the "revolutionary" performance hack of turning off authentication. The face you make is a perfect blend of horror and fascination – like watching someone suggest solving traffic by removing all stop lights. Sure, the app will run faster when you remove all those pesky security checks! Just like how a bank would operate more efficiently without those annoying vault doors. Who needs user verification when you can have blazing fast response times ? Security vulnerabilities are just speed features in disguise!

Zero Factor Authentication: When Screen Recording Meets Security

Ah, the pinnacle of security engineering – displaying the verification code right in the screenshot. Multi-factor authentication? Nah, let's go with zero-factor! Just broadcast your 6-digit code to whoever's recording your screen. That smug arms-crossed pose is the universal "I've made some questionable decisions but I'm standing by them" stance that every dev adopts right before production goes down. Next up: storing passwords in a public GitHub repo called "definitely-not-passwords".

The classic junior dev power move: "I couldn't figure out why my code was failing the tests, so I just... deleted them." Meanwhile, the senior dev is standing there having an internal blue screen of death moment. It's the software equivalent of removing the smoke detector because it kept going off while you were cooking. Genius solution until the whole codebase catches fire! This is why code reviews exist—to prevent crimes against humanity in your git repository.

Sometimes You Don't Fix It, You Just End It

That peaceful smile when you've had enough of merge conflicts and decide nuclear options are the only way forward. Nothing says "I'm done debugging this repository" like force pushing to master and walking away from the explosion. Sure, your colleagues might hate you tomorrow, but that's tomorrow's problem. Today, you choose chaos.

It Scares The Hell Out Of Me

The toughest developers who fearlessly debug production issues at 3 AM suddenly turn into trembling wrecks when faced with a global array full of zeros. Nothing strikes terror into a programmer's heart quite like stumbling upon someone else's undocumented global variables. Those zeros aren't just empty values—they're empty promises . Whatever story that code was supposed to tell has been wiped clean, leaving only the haunting structure behind. It's like finding a murder scene where the killer meticulously cleaned up all the evidence except for the chalk outline.

The Project I Was Hired For After They Fired The Entire Previous Team

Ah, the classic "inheriting a codebase" experience, elegantly represented by a dog balancing on four bottles. Your entire project is just a precarious balancing act between try-except blocks that catch everything but fix nothing, Stack Overflow solutions copy-pasted with zero understanding, questionable hacks that would make professional developers weep, and that mysterious legacy code nobody dares to touch because the entire system would probably implode. The tiny hat is just *chef's kiss* - the one attempt at documentation that explains absolutely nothing.

Introducing the revolutionary "Grok 4" – where version control is just a suggestion and your entire codebase fits in a single text file! 🔥 Just imagine the sheer efficiency of debugging 10,000 lines of code by scrolling frantically through a single document. Who needs Git when you can just attach your entire life's work as "all_code.txt" and pray nothing gets corrupted? The best part? You can "implement features in 5 seconds" – which is exactly how long it'll take before your colleagues start plotting your mysterious disappearance. Modern problems require ancient solutions!

Dealing With System Files: The Evolution Of Privilege

Dealing With System Files: The Evolution Of Privilege

Ah, the evolution of a Linux user's file management skills! First panel shows the basics - copying, moving, removing files like a cautious beginner. Second panel reveals the slightly more sophisticated sudo mc (Midnight Commander) approach - a text-based file manager for those who want training wheels but still feel elite. But the final form? sudo dolphin - running a GUI file manager with admin privileges. It's like showing up to a terminal convention in a limo. The fancy monocle and top hat perfectly capture that feeling of "I could do this the hard way, but why should I when I have the power to be absolutely reckless with system files through a pretty interface?" The real joke? Running graphical apps with sudo is actually terrible practice that can break file permissions and create security vulnerabilities. But hey, at least you look sophisticated while destroying your system!

When Your Game Logic Handles Your Social Calendar

When your game code doubles as relationship management software. Apparently lunch with Fern warrants complete destruction, while Rhode gets the "Do Nothing" treatment. The comments asking "Have we already done this?" and "Who did we go to lunch with?" suggest this developer's memory is as reliable as their version control. Nothing says "professional game development" quite like using array indices to track your social life and enemies list. Somewhere, a code reviewer is quietly updating their resume.

Ah yes, the classic "stating the obvious" comment. The car door literally says "This DOOR is Blue" while being clearly silver/white. It's the programming equivalent of writing int x = 5; // this is 5 instead of explaining why x needs to be 5. After 15 years in the industry, I've learned that future you will hate past you for these comments. The real documentation we need is "WHY this door is painted differently" not "WHAT color it obviously isn't." Just like your code should explain the how, your comments should explain the why.
