The Teapot That Refused To Brew Coffee

The Teapot That Refused To Brew Coffee
The 418 status code is the unsung hero of HTTP responses. Created as an April Fools' joke in 1998, it literally means "I'm a teapot" and refuses to brew coffee because... well... it's a teapot. Not 404, not 500—the most useful error is clearly one that acknowledges the server's beverage-making limitations. After 15 years of debugging production issues at 2AM, sometimes I wish more servers would just admit they're teapots and call it a day.

The Immortal Teapot Of Developer Humor

The Immortal Teapot Of Developer Humor
The person who invented HTTP status code 418 ("I'm a teapot") single-handedly disproved the notion that veteran developers lack humor. While regular programmers were busy writing boring if-else statements, this legend was embedding an April Fools' joke directly into internet protocol standards that would confuse junior devs for generations. It's the programming equivalent of dad jokes achieving immortality through RFC documentation. The kind of brilliant absurdity that makes you question if you're hallucinating while debugging at 3 AM.

Stop Doing Computer Science

Stop Doing Computer Science
The ultimate conspiracy theory has been revealed—programming is just a massive hoax! According to this groundbreaking exposé, we've all been duped. Computers were meant to solve math, not be programmed. C is clearly just a letter in the alphabet that got way too full of itself. And if you need to print something? Grab a pen like a normal human being! My favorite part is the claim that optimizing CPU usage with recursive threaded methods is "nonsensical" and "deranged." Well, excuse me for trying to make my code run 0.02% faster while consuming only 99.8% of available RAM! And the evidence is damning: colored text in terminals, compilation errors, and a teapot you can't even drink from. Clearly, if programming were real, someone would have figured out how to make while(true){print(money);} work by now. Checkmate, developers.
