The Three Hardest Things In Computer Science (Actually Five)

The joke is hiding in plain sight—just like that duplicate cache invalidation entry. Notice how the list claims to have "three" hardest things but actually lists five items? And cache invalidation appears twice? That's the meta-joke about cache invalidation being so hard you can't even remember you already listed it. Meanwhile, "Threlti-Muading" is just "Thread Loading" with a naming problem, proving the point about naming things being difficult. And the cherry on top? The list itself has an off-by-one error by promising three items but delivering five. It's recursively proving its own point!

Writing Tests Be Like

OMG, the EXISTENTIAL CRISIS of writing test cases! 😱 You're sitting there, pointing out the BLINDINGLY OBVIOUS like some kind of software Sherlock: "Hmm, yes, this function returns a value when called. THE FLOOR IS INDEED MADE OF FLOOR." And then you spend THREE HOURS documenting that water is wet and integers can be added together. The sheer DRAMA of having to verify that your code does exactly what it's supposed to do - as if that wasn't THE ENTIRE POINT of writing it in the first place! Developers everywhere WEEPING as they write their 47th assertion that null is, in fact, still null. 💀
