One More Bug: The Eternal Lie

One More Bug: The Eternal Lie
The legendary "one more bug" lie that's older than version control itself. Every developer knows that fixing "just one more bug" is like saying you'll have "just one potato chip." Fast forward 84 years and you're still knee-deep in spaghetti code, wondering where your youth went. The project manager is still optimistically putting "almost done" on the sprint report while the codebase has evolved into its own sentient entity with trust issues.

The Biggest Lie In Programming History

The Biggest Lie In Programming History
The AUDACITY of those four little words: "It should work now." 💀 The universal battle cry of a programmer who's spent 6 hours changing ONE SINGLE CHARACTER in their code and is now DESPERATELY praying to the coding gods that this time—THIS TIME—they've fixed the bug that's been haunting their dreams! Meanwhile, everyone knows those words are basically a summoning ritual for 17 new bugs to magically appear. It's the programming equivalent of saying "what could possibly go wrong?" right before EVERYTHING goes catastrophically wrong!

Hello World In "C"

Hello World In "C"
When someone claims they're "good in C," but their idea of writing code is literally arranging the letter 'c' to spell "Hello World." That's like saying you're fluent in Spanish because you can order a burrito at Chipotle. The painful irony is that actual C "Hello World" is just a few lines that any first-year student could Google in 5 seconds: #include <stdio.h> int main() { printf("Hello World"); return 0; } Yet here we are, watching someone flex their ASCII art skills instead of basic syntax knowledge. Classic interview self-destruction.

The Ultimate Developer Self-Deception Manual

The Ultimate Developer Self-Deception Manual
The book titled "Math Isn't Important For Programming And Other Hilarious Jokes You Can Tell Yourself" is the ultimate self-deception manual for aspiring coders. Right next to classics like "I'll document my code later" and "This regex is perfectly maintainable," we have this mathematical fallacy. Meanwhile, your algorithm complexity is O(n²), your physics engine is glitching, and your machine learning model is basically a random number generator. The best part? It's Volume II—meaning someone bought enough copies of Volume I to warrant a sequel. Probably the same person who thinks sorting algorithms are "just theory stuff."
