Schrödinger's Code: Simultaneously Working And Not Working Until Observed

debugging-memes, code-mystery-memes, programming-logic-memes, unexpected-behavior-memes, developer-life-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

The eternal duality of programming: questioning everything when it fails AND when it succeeds. Nothing triggers existential dread quite like code working on the first try. "It's broken? Must debug for hours." "It works? Must have introduced 12 new bugs I haven't found yet." The only certainty in development is uncertainty—and the sneaking suspicion that your computer is gaslighting you.

A Shitstorm's Brewing

That awkward moment when your CTO realizes the legal implications of AI-generated code and suddenly wants attribution. Developers who've been copy-pasting from ChatGPT for months are now sweating profusely. Nothing says "professional software development" quite like frantically ctrl+F-ing through your codebase to figure out which parts you actually wrote versus which parts you prompted an AI to hallucinate. The best part? Nobody actually knows where liability falls, so we're all just adding comments and praying we don't get sued into oblivion.
