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 Works It Works

Oh. My. GOD! The absolute AUDACITY of this solution! 💀 Instead of writing some fancy algorithm to find the minimum value, this coding rebel just SORTED THE ENTIRE ARRAY and grabbed the first element! The interviewer's face is going through the five stages of grief in 0.2 seconds! It's like showing up to a marathon in a taxi and asking "where's my medal?" Sure, it technically works, but at what cost? THE COMPUTATIONAL COMPLEXITY, KAREN! THE COMPLEXITY! But hey, the code runs, the answer is correct, and sometimes that's all that matters in this cruel, cruel world of programming interviews. Work smarter not harder, I guess?
