The Default Letter

The duality of programmer brain function is hilariously accurate here. For regular variables, it's absolute chaos - fighting over whether to use temp , result , or just mash the keyboard with myVar . But for iteration variables? The council has convened and unanimously decreed: "We shall use 'i' and nothing else." The formal ceremony of loop counter naming has remained unchanged since the ancient days of FORTRAN. Bonus points if you graduate to j for nested loops while feeling incredibly sophisticated.

It Hurts The Other Way

The duality of developer existence in its purest form. We'll spend hours complaining about our deteriorating spines from sitting all day, then immediately contort ourselves into positions that would make a pretzel jealous. Nothing says "I'm debugging a production issue" quite like becoming a human question mark while coding at 2AM. Ergonomic chair manufacturers weep silently as we defeat their entire industry by sitting literally any way except the intended one. Somehow our bodies find peak coding efficiency when we're twisted like a DNA helix. The worse the posture, the better the code – it's basically science at this point.

The Sacred Art Of Documentation Avoidance

Documentation? Sorry, I don't speak that language. The sacred rule of coding: "If it works, don't touch it and definitely don't explain it." Future you will figure it out... or burn the codebase to the ground trying. That mysterious function without comments? It's not laziness—it's a puzzle box I've gifted to my colleagues. Think of it as team-building!

When you've been coding for so long that you start indexing real-world objects from zero. Normal people would call this the first step, but programmers know better—it's obviously step[0]. The contractor probably spent years debugging array out-of-bounds exceptions and now can't help but apply zero-indexing to everything they build. Just wait until they number the floors in their next apartment building: Ground, 1, 2... just to watch the mathematicians and Europeans lose their minds.

The Highest Honor A Developer Can Bestow

The eternal love story between a developer and their IDE. We spend countless hours customizing it, learning all its shortcuts, and defending it in heated debates. Then when someone asks what amazing features it has, all we can offer is... "Pin to taskbar." The ultimate honor bestowed upon software in our world. It's like getting a participation trophy in the Olympics, but hey, at least it's always one click away from our desperate coding sessions.

Abbreviate And Suffer The Consequences

Ah, the classic programmer paradox: Save 0.3 seconds typing "cnt" instead of "count" only to waste 2 hours debugging why your function is mysteriously failing. The docstring is right there screaming the answer too! Nothing like the smug satisfaction of typing fewer characters followed by the soul-crushing realization that your keyboard shortcut just cost you an entire evening. This is why code reviews exist - to catch you before you abbreviate yourself into debugging hell.

The Caps Lock Confession

The worn-out Caps Lock key is the unsung hero of SQL development! While the rest of the keyboard remains pristine, that poor Caps Lock has been hammered into oblivion from writing SELECT , FROM , WHERE , JOIN , and all those other shouty SQL keywords. Database developers might claim they use proper casing for readability, but this keyboard tells the real story—a tale of aggressive capitalization and syntax highlighting requirements that have claimed yet another Caps Lock victim. The keyboard never lies!

Save Your Files First

When you git commit and git push , your code gracefully soars into the repository like a well-engineered aircraft. But those unsaved files in VS Code? They're like desperate passengers on a staircase to nowhere—no safety net, just one power outage away from oblivion. The number of times I've lost hours of work because I was "just testing something real quick" before saving... Let's just say I've developed a nervous twitch that hits Ctrl+S every 12 seconds.

Finally, someone who comments their code properly! The sacred ancient art of adding a copyright header twice in the same file. Nothing says "I'm a professional" like redundant legal protection from 1987. The second copyright notice is there just in case you missed the first one while doom-scrolling through 10,000 lines of legacy code at 3 AM. Security through repetition! Pro tip: For maximum job security, add a third copyright notice at the end of the file. That way, future developers will be too intimidated by your thoroughness to ever refactor your masterpiece.

No Need To Shout

OMG THE DRAMA OF SQL DEVELOPERS AND THEIR CAPS LOCK ADDICTION! 😱 These poor souls are literally SUFFERING PHYSICAL PAIN from writing their queries in ALL CAPS! Cracking knuckles! Neck strain! Leg cramps! And the ultimate villain? That treacherous Caps Lock key just sitting there, MOCKING THEM with its power! The keyboard equivalent of a siren song luring developers into a world where SELECT, FROM, and WHERE must be SCREAMED at the database for it to understand. Because apparently databases are HARD OF HEARING or something?! The SQL language doesn't even care about case sensitivity, yet here we are, DESTROYING OUR BODIES for the sake of tradition! The AUDACITY!

There Are 2 Types Of Programmers

On the left: the verbose programmer who meticulously types out if(bool == false) with all those extra keystrokes, probably the same person who writes comments like "// increment i by 1" above i++ . On the right: the efficient programmer who uses if(!bool) because why waste precious milliseconds typing equality operators when the logical NOT operator does the exact same thing? This dev probably names variables like 'x' and finishes week-long projects in a day. Both snippets are functionally identical, but the right side just screams "I know what I'm doing and I value my wrist health."

Console Log Judgment Day

The AUDACITY! Imagine being a junior dev who dares to use autocomplete for a simple console.log() statement while your principal engineer stares at you with the judgment of a thousand code reviews! That disapproving superhero glare screams "In MY day, we typed every character BY HAND, uphill both ways, in a blizzard of syntax errors!" Meanwhile you're just trying to save precious milliseconds of your life that you'll never get back. The sheer DRAMA of being silently judged for efficiency! Heaven forbid we use the tools built into our IDEs!
