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.

Because Light Attracts Bugs

The unholy trinity of weakness! Just as vampires hiss at sunlight and Superman crumbles near kryptonite, programmers apparently recoil in horror at light-themed IDEs. The punchline hinges on the double meaning of "bugs" – both the insects attracted to light and the code defects that seem to multiply when you dare to code with a white background. Dark mode fanatics will feel deeply validated. Meanwhile, light theme users are being called out as masochists who enjoy debugging at 300% difficulty.

The Header Should Include Interface Only

Oh my goodness, this is TOO REAL ! 😂 C header files are like that friendly neighbor who just tells you what they can do. But C++ header files? They're that chaotic friend who shows up with their entire life story, template metaprogramming nightmares, and 17 nested namespaces! You open one expecting a simple interface and suddenly you're staring into the void of implementation details that would make Cthulhu weep. Every C++ developer knows that feeling when you include one innocent header and your compile time suddenly jumps to "maybe finish before the heat death of the universe." The header should include interface only... but C++ had other plans!
