The Schrödinger's Bug Paradox

The eternal paradox of software development in two panels: Top panel: Code inexplicably fails despite your flawless logic.

Now you're even more confused because you've been robbed of the satisfaction of fixing something. The true horror isn't when code doesn't work—it's when it starts working and you have absolutely no idea why. Now you live in fear that it'll break again the moment you deploy to production.

The Paradox Of Unreachable Code

The beautiful irony of throwing an AssertionError with the message "Unreachable code reached" is just *chef's kiss*. It's the programming equivalent of installing a security camera inside a black hole. You're basically telling the compiler "this code will never execute" and then writing an error message for when it does execute. The cosmic paradox of defensive programming at its finest! This is the senior developer's version of "trust no one, not even yourself." They've been burned too many times by "impossible" edge cases showing up in production at 3 AM.
