ChatGPT promised us a revolution: write code in 5 minutes instead of 2 hours. What they forgot to mention is that you'll spend the next 24 hours debugging the hallucinated nonsense it generated. Before ChatGPT, you'd code for 2 hours and debug for 6. Now you code for 5 minutes and debug for an entire day. The math isn't mathing, but at least you saved those 2 hours of actually understanding what you were writing. The real productivity hack was the existential crisis we gained along the way.

The eternal shortcut of the desperate developer. You're asked to fix lint errors in a merge request, but instead of actually fixing the underlying code issues, you just slap an eslint-disable-next-line comment and call it a day. It's like putting a piece of tape over your check engine light and considering the car "fixed." Sure, the PR will pass now, but we all know what you did... and we've all done it too when deadlines loom. Technical debt? That's a problem for future you!

The eternal corporate blame game in its natural habitat. Nobody actually knows how the feature works because the documentation disappeared into the same void where missing socks and project timelines go. QA points to Product, Product points to Engineering, and Engineering points right back because that's how we roll in software development. Meanwhile, the customer is sitting there wondering why they pay for this circus. The real documentation was the friends we made along the way.
