True Pi Day
Someone just discovered that if you treat the digits of Pi (3.14159265359...) as a Unix timestamp, you get July 13, 2965. So apparently we've all been celebrating Pi Day wrong on March 14th. The real Pi Day won't happen for another 940 years, which is honestly the most programmer thing ever – finding a completely impractical but technically correct alternative to an established convention. Fun fact: Unix timestamps count seconds since January 1, 1970 (the Unix epoch), so this timestamp converter is basically saying "Pi seconds after computers decided time officially began." Because nothing says 'mathematical constant' like arbitrarily mapping it to a date system invented for operating systems. Mark your calendars for 2965, folks. Finally, a holiday we can procrastinate on.

Clock But We Saved Money By Having The New Junior Dev Implement Daylight Savings Time Support At The Last Minute
OH. MY. GOD. This is what happens when management decides that handling time zones is just a "small feature" that can be assigned to someone who still thinks "debugging" means removing insects from their keyboard! 😱 The poor junior dev clearly had a complete meltdown and just threw in a "13" because WHAT EVEN IS TIME ANYMORE when you're trying to implement daylight savings at 11:59 PM the night before the deadline! That extra hour had to go SOMEWHERE, right?! The clock is basically screaming "help me, I've been coded by someone who thinks Unix timestamp is a fashion statement!" And this, friends, is why date/time libraries exist. Because otherwise you end up with abominations that make even seasoned developers wake up in cold sweats.

What Drove You To Madness?
The asylum of programming sins is now accepting new patients! Left to right, we have the poor soul who thought regex was a sensible XML parsing solution (narrator: it wasn't), the delusional dev who reinvented the wheel with a custom date/time library (because clearly, humanity hasn't solved that problem in the last 50 years), and finally—the pièce de résistance—the screaming maniac who blindly copy-pasted AI-generated "fixes" straight into production. The padded walls of this code asylum are the only things keeping these developers from harming themselves or others with more terrible technical decisions.
