validation Memes

Every Single Code Review

18 hours ago 60.6K views 0 shares

The classic code review saga continues! The function claims to check if something is a valid number, but instead uses a regex that would make ancient monks weep. Meanwhile, the reviewer's profound feedback? "add period" to the comment. Because clearly, proper punctuation is what's going to save this regex abomination from summoning demons in production. Seven years of computer science education and a decade of experience just to argue about periods in comments while that regex sits there like a ticking time bomb. Priorities!

No Errors While Deployment Is The Best

Who needs spiritual enlightenment when you've got a CI/CD pipeline that actually works? That moment when all your deployment checks turn green is basically the tech equivalent of nirvana. After days of fighting with Docker configs and environment variables, seeing those green checkmarks feels better than any meditation retreat. The real religion of developers isn't in any ancient text—it's watching that deployment succeed without a single red error message. Pure bliss. Pure meaning. Pure validation that maybe—just maybe—you're not completely terrible at your job after all.

What Is The Regex For This

Ah, the eternal struggle of email validation. Junior devs think it's just "check for an @ sign" while seniors know it's an eldritch horror that makes grown engineers weep. The flowchart perfectly captures the painful truth: email validation is never a simple yes/no. Even with an @ sign, there's a universe of edge cases lurking in the shadows. Is the TLD valid? Are those Unicode characters legal? Did someone seriously put quotes in their email address? Pro tip: just send a confirmation email and be done with it. Life's too short to write the perfect email regex that will inevitably fail on some obscure RFC compliance detail from 1982.

When the dev who built your UI validation thought phone numbers were just decorative elements. Somewhere out there, a database is screaming as it stores "74626282613" with no country code, formatting, or validation whatsoever. The slider is a particularly nice touch - nothing says "professional application" like measuring phone digits on a scale from "not enough" to "way too many."

Solopreneur Programmer Graveyard

Ah, the classic solopreneur delusion! Why validate your idea with a simple landing page when you can disappear into the engineering rabbit hole instead? Nothing says "I'm a serious developer" quite like meticulously crafting a CI/CD pipeline for an app that literally nobody asked for and probably never will. The true entrepreneurial spirit: ignoring market validation in favor of building infrastructure that would impress your developer friends... if only they cared. But hey, at least you'll have the most robust deployment system for your zero users!

Anyone Ever Have To Migrate Services To The Cloud

Cloud migration in a nutshell: Backend service owners clutching their precious code like a hairless cat hoarding gold coins, while completely ignoring those pesky validation steps scattered on the table. "But it works on my machine!" they hiss, as the DevOps team sighs for the 47th time today. The validation steps might as well be invisible—just like documentation and proper error handling. Who needs testing when you've got blind faith and a prayer to the server gods?

Oh. My. GOD. The absolute AUDACITY of developers creating fake test data that's so outrageously unrealistic! 🙄 You know you've reached peak developer desperation when you're creating fictional 150-year-old users just to avoid those pesky validation errors! Heaven forbid we use NORMAL birth dates like June 1, 1970! No no no, we need someone born during the CIVIL WAR because that's TOTALLY inconspicuous in our database! The silent agreement among developers to create these ancient test users is the industry's darkest secret. It's like we're all running underground retirement homes for digital vampires born in 1873. DRAMATIC GASP!

Ten Minutes To Check A Nickname

When your Discord registration is secretly running on a 486 processor from 1992. Ten minutes to check a nickname? In that time I could compile the Linux kernel, refactor my entire codebase, AND question all my life choices that led me to this moment. The spinning circle of doom is probably just a single-threaded function checking if your nickname contains any forbidden characters while simultaneously mining cryptocurrency on the side.

The Sweet Dopamine Hit Of Green Checkboxes

Left panel: Absolute existential dread when faced with writing actual tests for your code. Right panel: Sudden burst of dopamine and laser focus when those little green checkmarks start appearing. The perfect representation of developer priorities—validation first, actual work... eventually. The testing equivalent of cleaning your entire apartment to avoid writing one paragraph of documentation.

The Email Validation Intelligence Curve

Ah, the classic regex email validation bell curve. The sweet spot of sanity sits right in the middle where people use a simple EMAIL.CONTAINS('@') check and call it a day. On the low IQ end, you've got folks using the same basic check, blissfully unaware of the horrors that await. On the high IQ end, you've got the regex wizards who've stared into the abyss of RFC 5322 compliance and returned with that monstrosity at the top of the image. After 15 years in the industry, I've come to accept that email validation is like quicksand—the harder you fight for perfection, the deeper you sink. Just check for an @ symbol and move on with your life. Your sanity will thank you.

That fleeting moment of glory when your code doesn't immediately set the servers on fire. You're strutting around like a superhero while your Slack blows up with messages. Just wait until they find that one edge case you didn't test for. Enjoy the dopamine while it lasts, friend.

Someone's Snitching On IT's Secret Weapon

The AUDACITY of IT support being EXPOSED like this! 💀 First, we have the smug satisfaction of watching IT professionals struggle with the EXACT SAME PROBLEM you're having - validating that you're not just some clueless user. Then BAM! The betrayal in the comments! Your precious IT hero confessing they just Googled the solution on Reddit! The DRAMA! The SCANDAL! It's like finding out your therapist is actually reading from a self-help book they bought at the airport. And yet... isn't this the circle of tech life? Users pretending they tried everything, IT pretending they know everything, and Reddit silently solving everyone's problems behind the scenes. The tech support ecosystem thriving on collective denial!
