Just A Simple Boolean Question

Just A Simple Boolean Question
That smug little face says it all. You ask a simple yes/no question and instead of a clean true or false , they hit you with "I'll think about it" or some other useless string response. It's like asking someone if they want pizza and they respond with their entire life story. Boolean functions should return boolean values—it's literally in the name! But no, some developers just love to watch the world burn by returning strings like "maybe" or "undefined" when all you wanted was a straightforward answer. Then you're stuck with extra validation code because apparently if(isUserLoggedIn()) wasn't simple enough.

When Your Calculator Has An Identity Crisis

When Your Calculator Has An Identity Crisis
Somebody's calculator function clearly got confused with their first programming lesson! Instead of returning 35 (7×5), this calculator proudly outputs "Hello World" like it just graduated from Coding 101. Classic case of a variable type mismatch—calculator.js expected numbers but got existential instead. The dev probably reused that "Hello World" function they wrote 5 minutes earlier and forgot to change the return value. That's what happens when you code at 3 AM fueled by nothing but energy drinks and stackoverflow copy-pasta.

The Scariest Kind Of Programmers

The Scariest Kind Of Programmers
The programming paradigm hierarchy in its natural habitat. Object-oriented programmers confidently standing tall, data-oriented programmers clinging to them for support, and return-oriented programmers... well, they've fallen into the bucket and can't get out. Classic case of function returning to the wrong address space. That rabbit's not coming back with a value anytime soon.
