The Fastest Test Is No Test
OH. MY. GOD. The AUDACITY of those unit tests! 💅 Strutting around with their green checkmarks while the actual code is having a full-blown existential crisis! It's like building a perfect replica of the Titanic in your bathtub and declaring "Ship works fine!" while the real one is still at the bottom of the ocean! The disconnect between passing tests and working software is the ultimate developer gaslighting. "But my tests said it works!" Yeah, and my horoscope said I'd find love this year, yet here I am, alone with my debugger at midnight! 🙄

An Easy Bug (The 14-Hour Quick Fix)
The eternal optimism-to-despair pipeline of debugging. At 9 AM, we're all sunshine and confidence: "Just a quick fix, I'll be done before coffee gets cold!" Fast forward 14 hours, and you're still there, soul crushed, wondering why you didn't become a farmer instead. The best part? Tomorrow you'll do it all again with the same delusional enthusiasm. That "easy bug" is like quicksand - the more you struggle, the deeper you sink into Stack Overflow threads from 2011.

Integer Overflow Amirite
Ah yes, the classic "I watched a tutorial, therefore I am a programmer" phase. We've all been there. That magical moment when you follow along with some dude coding a simple "Hello World" and suddenly you're convinced you can build the next Facebook. The irony of the title "Integer Overflow Amirite" is perfect - they probably don't even know what an integer overflow is yet, but they're already speaking the lingo and ready to join the tribe. Give it a week before they discover their first StackOverflow error and the real programming journey begins. The confidence of a beginner is truly the most powerful force in computing.
