Knowledge Transfer: The Circle Of Blame

Oh. My. GOD. The circle of software development life in its purest form! 💀

First, the ACTUAL ENGINEER creates something and proudly announces it. Then some random person with a fancy logo head has the AUDACITY to question if they really made it?!

But wait! The plot thickens! The fancy-logo-head STEALS the creation, turns around, and claims it as their own! And then - THE BETRAYAL - the original engineer is now labeled a "VIBECODER" and gets the same treatment they gave others!

The final panel is just *chef's kiss* - our newly minted VIBECODER standing there, pathetically claiming credit for something they actually DID make, but nobody believes them anymore. It's the software development karma police coming full circle!

Copilot Autocompletes An API Key

That moment when GitHub Copilot helpfully suggests your private API key that you accidentally committed to a repo six months ago. Nothing like having your $5000/month AWS bill exposed by an AI that's just trying to be helpful. Security through obscurity fails again.

The Parting Gift

The ultimate developer revenge: a time bomb disguised as a comment. This magnificent bastard redefined the concept of "true" to randomly return false 90% of the time. Imagine the chaos when random boolean checks suddenly start failing in production with no logical explanation. The perfect crime - no git blame will save them now. This is why code reviews exist, people. And why you should always pay your developers fairly and give them proper notice periods.

When The Rejection Template Rejects Itself

Someone forgot to replace their template variables! The recruiter sent a rejection email with the actual instructions still visible: {{rejection_message}} followed by the template text. Basically caught red-handed with the corporate equivalent of "copy this excuse but change the names." The job hunt remains the only place where both sides pretend the process isn't completely automated until someone screws up like this.
