The 3 AM Stack Overflow Obsession

Content Stack Overflow: LMAO just read the docs for answers The docs: NOTICE. The patio is currently not open because it is closed.

Programmers see a simple age calculation and immediately apply the most straightforward algorithm: current age minus the age difference. Meanwhile, testers are out here considering every edge case from relativistic time dilation to family affairs. This is why we can't ship on time. Devs think they're done after the happy path works, while QA is busy writing test cases for "what if your sister is secretly an astronaut experiencing time dilation" scenarios. And this, friends, is the eternal dance between developers and testers that's been keeping software barely functional since the dawn of computing.

The duality of a programmer's existence in one perfect meme. Taking notes? That's for people who think they'll actually read them again. Meanwhile, the true coding warriors just slam their keyboards, write incomprehensible code at 2AM, and trust their future self to figure it out with nothing but cryptic variable names and zero comments. The confidence is breathtaking. The hubris is magnificent. The inevitable Stack Overflow search three weeks later when you have no idea what your own code does? Priceless.

Seeking the answer to parsing HTML with regex is like waiting for divine wisdom that never comes. 7.5*10^6 years later (that's longer than Earth has existed), and the computer's still thinking... because there IS no good answer. The punchline? Using regex to parse HTML is fundamentally flawed. HTML is a context-free grammar while regex is a regular expression - mathematically incapable of handling nested structures properly. It's like trying to eat soup with a fork - theoretically possible if you're desperate enough, but there are proper tools for that (like actual HTML parsers). The comic brilliantly captures the eternal wait for a solution that doesn't exist. Some problems in programming aren't meant to be solved - they're meant to be avoided entirely.

Content Nobody can give you a tutorial in here. please google some tutorials. - mins ago mis age for fucks sakes. You fucking people are so unpleasant. StackOverflow is a place to ask things and ask for help. If you don't feel like answering it, take your fucking fat cocky ass the fuck away. You are so fucking useless, you know that? You are a piece of shit and you seriously are going to get nowhere in life if you have nothing better to do than say "please read some tutorials" instead of contributing. Go fuck yourself. ago
