Documentation Written By The Guy Who Quit Last Week

Ah, the ancient art of developer revenge. That guy who said "it's all in the documentation" before quitting? Yeah, he left you hieroglyphics. Nothing says "figure it out yourself" quite like documentation that requires a Rosetta Stone to decipher. The best part? He's probably sipping margaritas somewhere, giggling every time he imagines you staring at his "comprehensive notes" with that thousand-yard debug stare. This is why exit interviews should include a documentation sanity check and why we all secretly fear the phrase "Bob was the only one who understood that system."

Can't Forget That Declaration

The magical incantation we all copy-paste at the top of our HTML files! Just like adding salt to soup, we throw in <!DOCTYPE html> without questioning why. Is it summoning the browser gods? Preventing IE6 from having a meltdown? Who knows! But skip it once and suddenly your perfectly valid webpage renders like it's 1999. The web development equivalent of "it's not a bug, it's a feature" – except nobody remembers what feature it actually is.

The Eyebrow Of Estimation Doom

Ah, the classic "eyebrow of doom" from engineering managers. One minute you're confidently estimating a task at 2 days, then they raise a single eyebrow and suddenly you're frantically adding buffer time like you're padding a college essay word count. The self-flagellation is real – going from "I can definitely do this" to "I am but a mere impostor who doesn't deserve a keyboard" in 0.3 seconds. The worst part? Deep down you know those original estimates were already padded by 30%. It's the corporate equivalent of writing yourself a self-deprecating note on your own forehead.
