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.

Another Day Of Fixing The Legacy

Oh. My. GOD. The absolute TRAUMA of inheriting someone else's spaghetti code! First panel: you're completely defeated, sprawled across the desk like your soul has left your body. Second panel: you're literally wiping away tears while trying to decipher what unholy abomination of nested if-statements and zero comments the previous developer unleashed upon this earth. It's like archaeology, therapy, and exorcism all rolled into one horrific job description. The previous dev probably left the company YEARS ago, laughing maniacally knowing someday you'd be stuck debugging their crimes against humanity!
