The Art Of Selective Blindness

todo-memes, technical-debt-memes, code-comments-memes, procrastination-memes, developer-habits-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

Selective blindness is a core developer skill. Those TODOs are like the digital equivalent of that pile of laundry you've been stepping over for weeks. Sure, they're there, screaming for attention with their all-caps urgency, but acknowledging them would mean actually having to do something about them. Better to just pretend they don't exist until code review forces your hand. Future you can deal with it – that guy's always been a bit of a sucker anyway.

If It Can Be Written In Javascript It Will

Ah, the inevitable JavaScript invasion question! The Social Security system runs on COBOL because it was built when dinosaurs roamed Silicon Valley. COBOL's delightful Y2K-ready feature: missing dates default to 1875, creating phantom 150-year-old benefit recipients. Meanwhile, JavaScript developers are wondering why they can't rewrite critical government infrastructure using npm packages that break every Tuesday. Because nothing says "reliable pension system" like a framework that's deprecated faster than milk expires. The real tragedy? If Social Security was written in JavaScript, those 150-year-olds would be getting NaN dollars per month while the system tries to figure out if their birthdate is truthy.

The Public Private Key Paradox

The greatest cryptographic catastrophe of our time! Someone just mistook Lady Gaga's keyboard-smashing tweet from 2012 as their private SSH key and posted it publicly with the "BEGIN PRIVATE KEY" header. That's like leaving your house key under a doormat labeled "DEFINITELY NOT A KEY HERE." Any security engineer seeing this is simultaneously laughing and having heart palpitations. The irony of labeling something as private while broadcasting it to the entire internet is just *chef's kiss* perfect.
