The infamous literal interpretation strikes again! When asked "Can you call me a taxi at 7am tomorrow?", Dad responds with "You're a taxi" at exactly 7:00. Classic case of parsing the request as a string rather than understanding the intent—just like when you ask a junior dev to "make the button blue" and they change the text color instead of the background. This is basically what happens when humans run on strict syntax rules without semantic understanding. No wonder QA departments exist.

The Great Spacing War: Hackathon Edition

The eternal battle between proper CSS and raw HTML hacks plays out in hackathon form. On the left, the purist frontend dev having an absolute meltdown over someone using multiple <br> tags for spacing. On the right, the chaotic neutral coder who's just trying to ship something before the deadline hits. Ten years in the industry and I still see senior devs using five <br> tags in production. Why learn margin-bottom when you can just slam the enter key a few times? The real hackathon spirit isn't elegant code—it's whatever unholy abomination gets you to the demo on time.
