Production bugs Memes

When your bank's email template literally just prints "null" as your name because someone forgot to check if the variable exists before shoving it into the template. Like, imagine the developer who wrote Dear ${customerName}, and just assumed it would ALWAYS have a value. Spoiler alert: it didn't. The absolute AUDACITY of a major bank sending out emails that scream "we didn't test this" while simultaneously including a massive disclaimer about how their emails might be intercepted, corrupted, or contain viruses. Well, the biggest virus here is your quality assurance process, my friend. Nothing says "we value your business" quite like addressing you as the JavaScript equivalent of "404: Customer Not Found." At least they were sincere about it. Sincerely null. 💀

You know that console.log() you threw in there to debug that one weird edge case six months ago? Yeah, it's still there. Chilling in production. Logging every single request like a chatty parrot. The brain's concern is totally valid—print statements in production are unprofessional, can leak sensitive data, and clutter your logs. But the developer's casual "I'll remove it next release" is the tech equivalent of "I'll start going to the gym next Monday." Spoiler: they won't. Then comes the plot twist: "It's javascript." And suddenly all bets are off. The brain just accepts defeat because in the Node.js ecosystem, console.log() is practically a feature at this point. Half the npm packages you're using probably have forgotten console.logs scattered throughout their codebases. Your production logs are basically a archaeological dig site of debugging statements from 2018. The real tragedy? That print statement will outlive the developer's tenure at the company.
