The dating market is just like programming language preferences - chaotic and full of strong opinions. Regular folks are all over the map with their choices, but then there's Rust developers who've formed their own cult-like dating pool. They're so convinced of their memory-safe superiority that they only date each other, creating this weird parallel universe where "borrowing" has romantic implications. Meanwhile, the Java dev with the question mark is just standing there wondering why nobody swiped right on their enterprise-grade personality. Trust me, after 15 years in tech, I've seen these Rust evangelists corner people at meetups just to talk about ownership models... in both code AND relationships.

The utopian future we could've had if SQL didn't punish us for that innocent trailing comma. Nothing says "welcome to database hell" like spending 20 minutes debugging a query only to find you left a comma after the last column in your SELECT statement. Meanwhile, every modern language lets you add trailing commas in arrays/objects because they're not sadistic. The irony? SQL was supposed to be "human-readable" but decided syntax errors were more fun than technological advancement. No wonder our flying cars got delayed.

Microsoft Excel is preprogrammed to make it easier to enter dates. For example, 122 changes to 2-Dec. This is very frustrating when you enter something that you don't want changed to a date. Unfortunately there is no way to turn this off. But there are ways to get around it. Preformat the cells vou want to enter numbers into as Text. This way Excel will not try to change what you enter into dates. If you only have a few numbers to enter, you can stop Excel from changing them into dates by entering:

Nothing says "modern software development" quite like being held hostage by a codebase that's older than your career. The error message demanding version 14.0 or greater is the cherry on top—because apparently your company's legacy project is still running on a language version from when flip phones were cool. Meanwhile, management keeps asking why the new features are taking so long. Maybe because we're trying to build a rocket ship with stone tools? The best part is knowing that even if you DO upgrade, you'll spend the next three months fixing breaking changes and dealing with dependencies that haven't been maintained since the Obama administration.
