The Unused Variable Intervention
Your IDE watching you create variables like they're endangered species that must be preserved at all costs, only to abandon them immediately. That look of absolute betrayal when your linter highlights the fifth unused variable of the day. It's like adopting puppies and leaving them at the shelter 20 minutes later. Your IDE is judging you harder than your ex who caught you saying "I'll optimize this later" for the 47th time this week.

The Art Of Problem Avoidance
Ah, the sophisticated art of problem-solving! Why spend hours debugging your broken code when you can simply delete the linter and live in blissful ignorance? It's like covering the check engine light with duct tape instead of fixing your car. Sure, the code still crashes in production, but at least those pesky red squiggly lines aren't hurting your feelings anymore. Modern problems require modern solutions—just not particularly good ones.

Karen Inspect - The Python HR Linter
Ah, the "Karen Inspect" linter - for when your code needs to speak to the manager of syntax. This satirical Python tool scans your code for "problematic" terms like master/slave and blacklist/whitelist, while enforcing ridiculous rules like "function names must be complete sentences with punctuation." Because nothing says "production ready" like code that passes HR's sensitivity training but can't actually run. My favorite part is flagging "temp" variables because "everything should be permanent!" - clearly written by someone who's never had to debug a 10,000-line legacy codebase at 2am. Next update will probably flag recursion as "self-centered behavior" and loops as "showing signs of obsessive tendencies."

Open A PR And Start Running
The Indiana Jones of software development! Carefully eyeing that golden idol of "existing code" like it's a sacred relic, only to swap it with your "new commit" and trigger the boulder of doom—the linter. That moment when you think you've perfectly calculated the weight of your code replacement, but forgot about those pesky tabs vs spaces arguments. Now you're sprinting through the codebase with angry code reviewers throwing spears at your PR. Should've read the tribe's ancient documentation first!

Tell Me You Are New Without Telling Me
The universal rite of passage for coding newbies: discovering a semicolon error and treating it like they've found the Higgs boson of programming problems. Veterans watching this unfold are just sitting there thinking, "Ah yes, I remember when I too believed semicolons were worthy of philosophical debate instead of letting my IDE handle it while I focus on actual problems... like why my perfectly functional code works in dev but crashes in production." Nothing screams "I just installed VS Code yesterday" quite like passionately sharing that semicolon meme your non-technical friend would find hilarious.
