Ah, the beautiful delusion of Day 1. "I'll quickly get up and running..." they say, right before meeting the crimson wall of dependency hell. What they don't tell you in the interview is that your first two weeks will be spent wrestling with environment setup, missing packages, incompatible versions, and permission errors that make you question your career choices. The real coding challenge isn't algorithms—it's getting your development environment to stop screaming at you in angry red text. By the time you actually write your first line of production code, you'll have aged approximately 7 years.

When Regex Meets HTML: A Lovecraftian Horror Story

What we're witnessing here is the legendary Stack Overflow answer that spawned a thousand nightmares. This unhinged masterpiece isn't just explaining why you can't parse HTML with regex—it's having a complete existential breakdown about it. The answer starts reasonably enough before descending into cosmic horror territory with gems like "HTML and regex go together like love, marriage, and ritual infanticide" and "Z̸̯̀A̸̯̿L̸̯̀G̸̯̿Ò̸̯ IS COMING." It's basically the programming equivalent of "don't feed the Mogwai after midnight" except with more eldritch abominations. And honestly? The answer is technically correct. Using regex for HTML parsing is like performing surgery with a chainsaw—theoretically possible but guaranteed to end in tears and therapy sessions.
