The Project I Was Hired For After They Fired The Entire Previous Team

Ah, the classic "inheriting a codebase" experience, elegantly represented by a dog balancing on four bottles. Your entire project is just a precarious balancing act between try-except blocks that catch everything but fix nothing, Stack Overflow solutions copy-pasted with zero understanding, questionable hacks that would make professional developers weep, and that mysterious legacy code nobody dares to touch because the entire system would probably implode. The tiny hat is just *chef's kiss* - the one attempt at documentation that explains absolutely nothing.

Adding Accessibility To Legacy Website For The Sake Of Compliance

When the product manager says "just make it WCAG compliant" and the dev team has a deadline tomorrow. That ramp is about as functional as my error handling—technically present but practically useless. The classic "it works on my machine" approach to accessibility! Reminds me of those CSS hacks we all write at 11:59 PM before a launch—technically passes the automated tests but would make any UX designer have an existential crisis.

Regex Is Magic

The eternal dance between developers and regex—a cryptic language that might as well be ancient runes. When ChatGPT spits out a working regex that looks like someone headbutted a keyboard, what do we do? Copy-paste that mystical incantation and back away slowly. It's the modern equivalent of summoning a demon—you don't need to understand the Latin, you just need the spell to work. And when it does? Pure dopamine. That smug satisfaction of solving a problem without actually understanding the solution is programming at its finest. Future you will hate present you when that regex breaks in six months. But that's a problem for future you, who is, quite frankly, a bit of a buzzkill anyway.
