Surprise Senior: The Accidental Promotion

Ah, the classic tale of software development dysfunction! The requirements doc and production code staring at each other like total strangers at a party, despite supposedly being intimately related. One says "No" while the other confidently declares "Yes" - a perfect representation of that moment when stakeholders ask if what was built matches what was requested. The requirements doc is in complete denial while the code is living in its own fantasy world. It's not a bug, it's an undocumented feature! Or more accurately, it's a documented feature that nobody bothered to implement correctly. The eternal disconnect between theory and practice, much like my relationship with my gym membership.

Looking at ( ( ) ) => { } ) ( ) ; and wondering how it works is like staring into the abyss of JavaScript's syntax flexibility. It's just nested parentheses, curly braces, and arrows having an existential crisis together. After 15 years of development, I still get cold sweats when I see code like this in production. Somewhere, a senior dev is nodding knowingly while secretly Googling "what does extra parenthesis in arrow function do" in an incognito tab.

Nothing says "I've reached a new level of despair" quite like discovering something worse than your own code. That moment when Microsoft Teams enters the chat and suddenly your self-loathing gets an upgrade. It's the corporate equivalent of thinking you've hit rock bottom, then someone hands you a shovel. The best part? You're still typing away, just with more existential dread per keystroke.
