Frustration Memes

Let's be honest, we've all been there. You need a regex pattern, so you open your editor with the confidence of someone who definitely knows what they're doing. Five minutes later, you're staring at a keyboard smash of special characters that somehow works. The beauty of regex is that the most efficient way to create one is apparently to let your cat walk across the keyboard. Random slashes, brackets, and character classes? Congrats, you've matched exactly what you needed... and also 47 edge cases you didn't consider. Ten years of programming experience and I still copy-paste from Stack Overflow. The cat method might actually be more reliable.

Ah, the classic "#DEFINE MADNESS" - doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results. Twenty years in this industry and I still catch myself hammering that compile button like it's going to magically fix itself. Meanwhile, the compiler is just sitting there thinking, "This idiot is sending me the exact same broken code repeatedly. Should we tell him or just keep launching errors like a medieval catapult?" The real kicker? That one time you compile the same code without changing anything and it suddenly works. That's when you know the universe is just messing with you.
