Software engineering Memes

You know that moment when you're debugging and stumble across an error message so absurd, so utterly bizarre, that you have to lean back in your chair and really process what you're seeing? Like "Error: Potato is not a valid database" or "Cannot read property 'undefined' of undefined of undefined." Your brain goes into full detective mode because surely, SURELY, this can't be what's actually breaking your code. The shrimp sitting in the chair represents you, the developer, carefully examining this comedic masterpiece of an error message. You're convinced it's a rabbit hole that'll send you spiraling through 47 Stack Overflow tabs, your entire codebase, and possibly questioning your career choices. But nope—sometimes a shrimp is just a shrimp. Sometimes the error is exactly what it says, no matter how ridiculous it sounds. The paranoia is real though. We've all been burned by that one time the "simple" error turned into a 6-hour debugging session involving race conditions, memory leaks, and existential dread.
