When Your Hobby Code Becomes Business Critical

side-project-memes, intern-memes, deadlines-memes, corporate-memes, feature-creep-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

That moment when your "just for fun" code suddenly becomes mission-critical! One day you're tinkering with a side project to sharpen your skills, and the next day some executive is presenting it in the quarterly roadmap. The facial expression says it all - the perfect mix of pride, terror, and "what have I gotten myself into?" Now you're frantically refactoring spaghetti code, adding proper error handling, and praying that your commented-out debug statements don't make it to production. Classic case of success-induced panic!

Always Stress Test Your Candy

The forbidden Snickers—now with extra pointer problems! Someone replaced the nougat with C++ code that's leaking memory faster than a chocolate bar melts in your pocket. First allocating memory for 10 integers, then immediately orphaning it by reassigning the pointer to new memory, and finally deleting only the second allocation. That first chunk of memory? Gone forever, like your sanity after debugging someone else's code at midnight. The real horror this Halloween isn't ghosts—it's the garbage collector that never comes.
