Say Hello World

Behind every sleek tech company is a production environment that looks exactly like this kid's room. The caption "ALL MODERN DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE" is just a fancy way of saying "we're all running critical systems on the digital equivalent of Lego blocks scattered across the floor." The teddy bear represents that one legacy system from 2003 that nobody understands but somehow keeps the entire operation running. Stepping on it barefoot at 2AM is basically what an outage feels like.

Advice 4 72 146 Share BEST COMMENTS mOle 11h I think my favourite IT story (not mine) is the server that needed to be rebooted whenever it froze completely. The mcguyver solution? Get an old pc with a CD drive, and every time it loses connection to the server it ejects the CD tray, which has a poking stick attached, which hits the reset button. The line between genius and insanity was definitely blurry there. Reply 7 more replies 137 S Add a comment

So everyone's screaming about JavaScript being terrible, but then you look at how developers actually get the current year in production code. Instead of just using new Date().getFullYear() , some genius decided to hardcode "2025" wrapped in a beautiful mess of <footer><small> tags that don't even close properly. The closing </small> is chilling AFTER the text instead of wrapping it correctly. Maybe JavaScript isn't the problem. Maybe it's the developers who refuse to use it correctly. This footer will be hilariously outdated in about 365 days, and some poor soul will have to manually update it while the rest of the internet just... uses a date function like normal people. The real kicker? They're complaining about hardcoded YEARS while literally hardcoding a year. Chef's kiss. 💋👌

The cosmic irony of demanding an .exe file from Linus Torvalds' Linux repository is just *chef's kiss*. This poor soul wandered into the holy temple of open-source, screaming for Windows executables like asking for ketchup at a Michelin star restaurant. The cherry on top? They're raging at the literal creator of Linux, demanding he package his entire operating system—you know, the one that powers most of the internet—into a Windows executable. It's like telling Picasso "just email me the JPG version of your paintings, why are there all these brushstrokes?!"
