When The Final Boss Has No Answers

That moment when you've spent hours banging your head against a gnarly bug, finally swallow your pride and escalate to the all-knowing software architect... only to watch them stare blankly at your code like a sasquatch contemplating the meaning of existence. Nothing quite matches the existential dread of realizing the final boss of your engineering hierarchy is just as clueless as you are. Time to update the resume or embrace the chaos and start randomly changing variables until something works!

Thank Him For That

Thank Him For That

The debugging escalation hierarchy in its final form! First, you bother your friend who's just trying to code in peace. Then you post on StackOverflow and get roasted for not providing a minimal reproducible example. But the GALAXY BRAIN move? Tweeting directly at Brendan Eich—the literal creator of JavaScript—about your broken script tag. And what does the legend do? Simply replies "Show the html please." Not "Do you know who I am?!" Just calmly asking for the code like a regular dev helping out. The absolute chad of programming language creators just casually debugging your homework on Twitter.
