What Drove You To Madness?

The asylum of programming sins is now accepting new patients! Left to right, we have the poor soul who thought regex was a sensible XML parsing solution (narrator: it wasn't), the delusional dev who reinvented the wheel with a custom date/time library (because clearly, humanity hasn't solved that problem in the last 50 years), and finally—the pièce de résistance—the screaming maniac who blindly copy-pasted AI-generated "fixes" straight into production. The padded walls of this code asylum are the only things keeping these developers from harming themselves or others with more terrible technical decisions.
