Who In Here Is Older Than The Y2K Bug

Ah, the sticker that launched a thousand panic attacks. For the youngsters: computers used to store years as two digits to save precious memory. So 1999 was just "99" in code. When 2000 hit, systems would roll over to "00" and potentially think it was 1900, causing chaos with calculations, dates, and potentially launching nuclear missiles (or so the media claimed). The solution? Turn everything off and hope for the best. Spoiler alert: we survived, but Best Buy made a killing selling these stickers to terrified boomers who thought their toasters might become sentient.

Circular Dependancy

Ah, the family tree of dependency hell! Just like how you can't exist without Mom and Dad, and they somehow need you to function (especially when they need tech support), your code shouldn't form these ridiculous loops either. This is basically every developer justifying their spaghetti architecture with "but it works in real life!" Sure, and my code works on my machine too. Doesn't mean it's not a disaster waiting to happen when someone else tries to untangle your family issues—I mean, dependencies.

Good Devs Are Expensive Until Disaster Strikes

The financial calculus of software development hits different at 3 AM when your servers are burning. That $150/hour senior dev you rejected? Suddenly looks like a bargain when compared to the $50,000/minute revenue loss from your payment system being down. The technical debt collector always shows up at the worst possible time, and unlike regular debt collectors, this one charges compound interest in the form of your engineering team's sanity and your customers' trust. Pro tip: The cost of prevention is always cheaper than the cost of the cure.
