Ah, the classic reinvention of the wheel syndrome.

The Reluctant Tech Support Hero

The eternal paradox of being a programmer: telling people you can't fix their printer, then fixing it anyway because of course you can. It's like saying you're not a doctor while performing open-heart surgery with a Swiss Army knife. The truth is, we've all mastered the arcane ritual of turning it off and on again—a skill mysteriously absent from 90% of the human population.

Regex Still Haunts Me

First day or tenth year, we're all still Googling regex patterns for email validation. That fancy CS degree and decade of experience? Worthless when faced with the eldritch horror of ^[\w-\.]+@([\w-]+\.)+[\w-]{2,4}$ . Nobody memorizes that nightmare fuel.
