I Was There When The Ancient Keyboard Was Forged

When some Gen Alpha kid in 2064 tries to explain Alt+F4 to you like it's revolutionary tech... Listen here, youngster. I've been refreshing browsers since before your parents were born. I've witnessed the birth of keyboard shortcuts, survived the IE6 era, and debugged code on dial-up. Alt+F4 isn't just a command—it's a relic from an age when we had to trick interns into closing their work with it. The ancient keyboard arts weren't taught; they were suffered through.

Traditional For Wins Sometimes

The eternal battle between fancy modern streams and good ol' for loops! Sure, streams can filter, map, and reduce with the elegance of a ballet dancer, but try debugging that one-liner that spans three monitors. Meanwhile, traditional for loops are just sitting there like "Yeah, I might not be the cool kid anymore, but at least you know exactly which iteration exploded your production server at 3 AM." Sometimes you don't need a Ferrari when a reliable Toyota with an actual dashboard will get you there without the existential crisis of atomized variables.

Yes, But The API Says No

The classic API response contradiction that haunts my nightmares. Server returns HTTP 200 OK (everything's fine!) but then smugly delivers {"error": true} in the response body. It's like a waiter saying "Your meal is ready!" while handing you an empty plate with a note that says "actually we're out of food." Seven years of backend development and I'm still finding APIs that pull this nonsense. The worst part? Some senior dev is defending this somewhere right now as "technically correct."
