When Your IDE Thinks It Knows Better Than You

Visual Studio's autocomplete turning a simple comparison operator into a bitshift monstrosity is the digital equivalent of asking for a hammer and receiving a nuclear warhead. The editor's overzealous "helpfulness" transforms if (a < b) into if (a < >> b) faster than you can say "undo." Nothing like watching your innocent conditional suddenly become a bizarre bitwise operation that'll have your compiler laughing at you behind your back.
