The Self-Inflicted Code Review

Nothing like the sweet moment of realization that the code you're cursing was written by your past self. That special feeling when you open a project after a break and wonder what sleep-deprived maniac wrote those incomprehensible functions... only to check git blame and find your own name. The circle of developer life: write code, forget code, hate code, realize it was you all along. Future you is always judging present you, and they're not impressed.

But Your Innie Does

A clever nod to Apple TV+'s "Severance" where the character's work self ("innie") is separated from their outside self ("outie"). Just like how developers have two personalities: the one who stubbornly refuses AI assistance at home, and the one who secretly lets GitHub Copilot write half their codebase at work. We all have principles until the deadline is tomorrow.

You've Been Doing It Wrong

Oh look, it's the keyboard shortcut showdown in prison! First inmate proudly uses Ctrl+Alt+Del like it's 1995, thinking he's all sophisticated with the three-finger salute. Then the second guy drops the mic with Ctrl+Shift+Esc, which directly opens Task Manager without the extra menu step. It's like watching someone brag about their dial-up connection while the other person quietly uses fiber. The real crime here isn't whatever got them locked up—it's wasting precious milliseconds when your application freezes.

Terrible Auth: The Digital Doorman Who Always Says Yes

The first part of this authentication function is actually doing its job—checking if the password matches. But then comes the security masterpiece: if (true == true) . Congratulations, you've created the digital equivalent of a bouncer who checks your ID and then lets you in anyway because "yep, gravity still works!" This function will authenticate literally anyone who gets past the first check... or fails it and just keeps trying. Security experts hate this one weird trick!

I Would Rewrite

AI is that new junior dev who can write an entire e-commerce platform from scratch overnight but stares blankly at the screen for hours when you ask it to fix a missing semicolon. The duality is real - fancy tuxedo for creating complex systems, but turn into a teeth-grinding maniac when faced with debugging the simplest issues. Just like the rest of us, except we don't have the excuse of being a neural network.
