When Your Family Tree Is Also Your Dependency Tree

The family tree of code maintenance! Someone's friend learned COBOL (that ancient language from the 60s still powering banks and government systems) only to inherit a codebase last touched by his actual mother in the 90s. Talk about biological inheritance vs programming inheritance! While OOP enthusiasts would expect to extend a parent class with new methods, this poor soul got literal parental legacy code instead. The real inheritance tax is maintaining your mom's spaghetti code from the Reagan era. Bet those family dinners get awkward when he asks about the lack of documentation.

Algorithms Are Like Small A Is

Ah, the classic marketing vs. reality divide. Developers know that what they built is just a simple counter algorithm that goes from 1 to 10, but marketing swoops in and suddenly it's "AI POWERED™" with a trademark symbol because god forbid we call things what they actually are. After 20 years in this industry, I've seen "revolutionary AI" that was just a bunch of if-statements wrapped in a fancy UI. The trademark symbol is the chef's kiss of bullshit – nothing says "we're pretending this is special" quite like a completely unnecessary ™.

The JavaScript Sobriety Test

Ah, the classic "free drink if you can read code" trap! This bar is basically filtering customers based on JavaScript literacy. The sneaky part? The secret word is hidden in plain sight but requires you to mentally execute the code. The code creates a function that reverses strings, then builds the secret word by reversing "par", adding "amet", and constructing a final string with "Secret word: " prefix. If you run it, you get "Secret word: rapemat" - which sounds like the world's most unfortunate cocktail name. Honestly, any dev who can parse this after a few drinks deserves not just one free beverage but the entire bottle. And the bartender probably thinks they're so clever until some smartass walks in with a JavaScript interpreter on their phone.
