When You Look Again At Your Own Code

Content What is your idea of a perfect date. DDMMYYYY, other formats can be really confusing. You will die single.

Ah, the cultural confusion between American and British English strikes again! Someone's clearly been deep in web development and heard about "cookies" but then remembered the British call cookies "biscuits." So naturally, they had to Google if British websites use "biscuits" instead of "cookies" for storing user data. For the uninitiated: in web development, cookies are small text files that websites store on your device to remember information about you. They're called cookies everywhere, even in Britain where actual edible cookies are called biscuits. The browser doesn't change terminology based on your location settings. Imagine if they did though: "This site uses biscuits to enhance your experience, love. Fancy a cuppa while you accept?"

The eternal corporate handshake that pays everyone's bills. Manager and client congratulate each other on a "successful project" while completely ignoring the sleep-deprived developer who actually built the damn thing. Twenty years in the industry and I've watched this scene play out at every project celebration. The programmer gets a pizza party while management gets the bonus. Tale as old as Git.

Functional programming purists have gone too far! While we're all using CONST to make variables immutable, Haskell folks are over here with their monads, currying, and type signatures that look like hieroglyphics from an alien civilization. The beauty of this rant is that it perfectly captures the existential crisis of every developer who's peeked into Haskell's mathematical purity only to back away slowly. "Hello I would like [1,2...] apples please" - because apparently ordering groceries requires a PhD in category theory now. Those code snippets with question marks are the programming equivalent of opening a physics textbook to a random page and questioning your career choices. The mathematicians have indeed played us for absolute fools!
