If It Works Don't Touch It

The ancient curse of the tech world strikes again! That poor soul made the cardinal sin of trying to "clean up" a working codebase in a single day. Every senior dev knows that legacy code is like an archaeological site - start digging without a proper plan and you'll unleash ancient curses that turn you into a mummified skeleton.

That "quick refactoring" always starts with "I'll just fix this one messy function" and ends with your soul being sucked into dependency hell. The road to production is paved with the remains of developers who said "I can rewrite this over the weekend."

My Ability To Think Slow

The interviewer asks for a simple array sort of just 0s, 1s, and 2s (literally the easiest sorting problem ever), and this poor soul immediately jumps to Bubble Sort—the algorithmic equivalent of using a sledgehammer to hang a picture frame. For the uninitiated, this is a classic interview problem with a O(n) solution—just count occurrences and rebuild the array! But under pressure, our brain defaults to the first sorting algorithm we learned in CS101. The interviewer's face says it all: your grandma with a walker would cross the finish line before your O(n²) bubble sort even gets halfway through. Nothing captures the interview panic spiral quite like forgetting that you're sorting just THREE UNIQUE VALUES while proposing an algorithm from the stone age of computing.

Coding After Midnight: The Haunted Rollercoaster

THE ABSOLUTE DRAMA of nighttime coding! Look at these nocturnal code warriors riding the rollercoaster of insanity while daytime programmers scream in horror! Midnight coders are literally TRANSFORMING into code-drunk skeletons fueled by nothing but energy drinks and desperation! Meanwhile, the 9-to-5 normies are clutching their ergonomic keyboards in absolute terror at what their codebase will look like tomorrow morning! That pull request review is going to be a NIGHTMARE of "why did you commit this at 3:47 AM?!" The duality of programmer existence has never been so spectacularly represented by a haunted rollercoaster metaphor!
