Even A Broken Clock Is Right Twice A Day

Ah, the classic Japanese Yen hack! Some poor soul wrote a currency conversion function that divides the exchange rate by 100 only for JPY. Why? Because the Japanese Yen doesn't use decimal points (1 USD ≈ 150 JPY), so someone "fixed" it by dividing by 100... which is completely wrong and will utterly destroy your financial calculations. But hey, that one time when the exchange rate is exactly 100, the code will accidentally work! Just like that broken clock... right twice a day.

The Eternal Joy Of Working Code

The magical feeling of watching your API work never fades, whether it's the first time or the 420th time. That childlike excitement when your code actually does what it's supposed to do? Pure wizardry. Let's be honest - we all know that first successful run is just dumb luck. By the 420th time, you're still equally thrilled because deep down you're thinking, "I have absolutely no idea why this is working and I'm afraid to touch anything." The true mark of a developer isn't building something complex - it's maintaining that same manic glee when the simplest thing works as intended.
