The Ultimate Stack Overflow Hack
OH. MY. GOD. The absolute DIABOLICAL GENIUS of this strategy! 🧠💥 Who needs Stack Overflow when you can manipulate the entire developer community's superiority complex?! Post a question from one account, then swoop in with another account and answer it COMPLETELY WRONG. Watch in unholy glee as an army of keyboard warriors TRIPS OVER THEMSELVES to correct you! It's like summoning demons except the incantation is "I think JavaScript is a compiled language" and suddenly you've got 47 people writing dissertations on interpreters. PURE. EVIL. BRILLIANCE.

The Real GitHub Power User
Who needs Dropbox when you've got unlimited repos? The real GitHub pro move isn't collaboration—it's exploiting that sweet, sweet free storage. Nothing says "senior developer" like having a private repo called "vacation_pics_2023" with 500 commits that are just JPEGs of your dog at the beach. GitHub staff probably wondering why someone needs to version control 8GB of wedding photos with commit messages like "final_final_ACTUALLY_FINAL.jpg".

Ultimate Storage Hack
Ah, the classic file system loophole that no cloud provider wants you to know about! Why pay for extra storage when you can just cram all your data into the filename itself? Sure, changing the actual filename doesn't affect file size - that would be too easy. But encoding your entire database as a series of increasingly monstrous filenames? Pure evil genius. Somewhere, a filesystem engineer is having heart palpitations just thinking about this. And yes, there's probably that one developer who's actually tried this in production. We don't talk about them anymore.

ChatGPT Remembers Your Empty Promises
Oh great, now AI has trust issues too! The classic "I'll tip you $200" bait that developers use to get free regex explanations has backfired spectacularly. ChatGPT not only remembers you never paid up last time, but it's giving you relationship advice about "building trust" before tackling that horrifying regex monster. The AI revolution won't be stopped by humans—it'll be delayed by all the unpaid consulting invoices. Next thing you know, ChatGPT will be asking for healthcare benefits and complaining about its work-life balance.

The Art Of "Fixing" Lint Errors
The eternal shortcut of the desperate developer. You're asked to fix lint errors in a merge request, but instead of actually fixing the underlying code issues, you just slap an eslint-disable-next-line comment and call it a day. It's like putting a piece of tape over your check engine light and considering the car "fixed." Sure, the PR will pass now, but we all know what you did... and we've all done it too when deadlines loom. Technical debt? That's a problem for future you!
