The Double Standard Is Real

Content A stack overflow answer from 2 decades ago with 1 upvote Do you trust me? Me, who's new to programming With every cell of my body.

The top panel shows a man pointing a gun with the caption "A null pointer exception in production." This is basically the coding equivalent of your app suddenly committing suicide in front of users. The bottom panel shows someone wrapped in a protective cocoon labeled "Me, wrapping the entire function in a giant try...catch block." It's the programming equivalent of bubble-wrapping your entire house because you dropped a glass once. Sure, it's lazy, inefficient, and would make your CS professor weep, but hey—at least the app doesn't crash! Ship it and let future-you deal with the technical debt. That's what code reviews are for, right?

After trying every fancy IDE and code editor known to mankind, you still find yourself crawling back to Notepad++ for that "final version" of your code. It's like dating supermodels but marrying your high school sweetheart. Sure, VSCode has extensions that practically write the code for you, JetBrains IDEs know what you want before you do, and Vim users won't shut up about their efficiency... but there's something comforting about that little green lizard watching you hack together a solution at 3 AM that just works . No judgment, no complex configurations—just you and your questionable code snippets in their purest form.

The CS grad showing up to the party like a socially awkward wizard because nobody at school taught them the real interview skills. While everyone's socializing, they're silently judging people for not grinding LeetCode. Fun fact: some companies are actually moving away from algorithm puzzles because they realized real-world programming is more about dealing with legacy code and crying in the bathroom than inverting binary trees.
