Not Regex But Regret When We Mess It

Ghost? Fine. Zombie? Whatever. Nuclear war? Slightly concerning. But regex? PURE TERROR. That incomprehensible string of brackets, slashes, and special characters is the true horror story of programming. You start with a simple pattern match and end up summoning an eldritch abomination that somehow passes all your tests but fails spectacularly in production. The character falling off their chair and literally dying is the most accurate representation of regex debugging I've ever seen. The tombstone is for your sanity, not your body.

If It Can Be Written In Javascript It Will

Ah, the inevitable JavaScript invasion question! The Social Security system runs on COBOL because it was built when dinosaurs roamed Silicon Valley. COBOL's delightful Y2K-ready feature: missing dates default to 1875, creating phantom 150-year-old benefit recipients. Meanwhile, JavaScript developers are wondering why they can't rewrite critical government infrastructure using npm packages that break every Tuesday. Because nothing says "reliable pension system" like a framework that's deprecated faster than milk expires. The real tragedy? If Social Security was written in JavaScript, those 150-year-olds would be getting NaN dollars per month while the system tries to figure out if their birthdate is truthy.
