Demo day Memes

Murphy's Law of demos: The probability of your app crashing approaches 100% as the importance of your audience increases. Nothing like watching your career flash before your eyes because some UUID that's supposed to be "universally unique" decided today was the day to prove statistics wrong. The best part? You'll spend the next week adding extra UUID validation that you'll never need again, but can't remove because you're now traumatized.

That unique blend of terror and anticipation when you spot the landmine in your colleague's demo code. You're just sitting there, sweating, watching the cursor inch closer to that recursive function with no exit condition. Do you speak up and save them? Or silently witness the impending stack overflow that's about to bring the entire presentation to its knees? The internal dialogue is just: "Don't click that. Don't you dare click that. Aaaand... they clicked it."

The classic demo day disaster! Junior devs having existential meltdowns while senior devs are just like "Ah yes, the demo monster strikes again." That terrifying moment when your perfectly working app decides to transform into a fire-breathing crash-beast right when all the important people are watching! Seniors have seen this movie before—they've developed that thousand-yard stare that says "I expected nothing and I'm still disappointed." Meanwhile juniors are discovering new levels of panic they didn't know existed. It's not a real product launch until something explodes spectacularly in front of the CEO!
