Are You A Good Developer ?

Ah yes, the sacred developer survival instinct! Just like checking for cars on a one-way street despite the rules saying they only come from one direction, a real developer never trusts the documentation, API specs, or that "perfectly working" legacy code. Sure, the function says it returns a string—but is it really a string or some unholy string-like object waiting to explode your production server? Trust issues aren't a bug in our profession—they're a feature!

When You Accidentally Invent Recursion With AI

Ah, the infinite loop of modern laziness! Instead of writing a prompt for an AI, this developer decides to make an AI write prompts for another AI... only to realize they've accidentally created recursion. It's like telling your intern to hire another intern to do their work. The real kicker? They think this accidental stack overflow is "peak software engineering." This is what happens when you're too clever for your own good but not clever enough to recognize you've just reinvented the wheel with extra steps. Somewhere, a computer science professor is weeping.

It's Not A Crash, It's A Happy Little Restart!

Windows crashes aren't bugs—they're features . Just like Bob Ross turned mistakes into birds, Microsoft turns kernel panics into "happy little restarts." That blue screen isn't the digital grim reaper; it's just your OS taking an unscheduled meditation break. The best part? You didn't even have to click "restart"—Windows thoughtfully did it for you! Nothing says "I value your time" like forcibly closing all your unsaved work because some random driver decided to have an existential crisis.

Instructions Unclear

Someone clearly skipped the code review meeting. The validation says the minimum length is 100000 but the maximum is 999999. Then the error message demands "at least 100000 characters" while the user typed... 9995855? I've seen more logical requirements in government paperwork. This is what happens when the PM says "just make it secure" without specifying what that means.
