Born To Code, Forced To Test

I once had a user complain to me a web app was too slow (and it was pretty fast). So I tested him by making the animation spinner spin much faster. He went to my boss to praise me how much faster the web app was. (spin.js is what i was using)

Content keep getting this error and don't understand why on hold I can't figure out why I'm getting this error. I've tried everything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The eternal struggle of software development in one perfect image. Devs and tech leads happily pushing code while security sits there like the responsible adult at a frat party screaming "I DON'T CONSENT!" into the void. Let's be honest, we've all shipped that feature at 4:59pm on Friday with security reviews marked as "TODO" in the PR. Then we act shocked when the security team finds 37 vulnerabilities that could've been prevented by a simple input validation. Security: The party pooper we all need but rarely want until after the breach.

Ah, the sacred commandment of code maintenance! This plumbing masterpiece perfectly captures that moment when you've cobbled together some unholy abomination of code that somehow—against all logic and reason—actually works. Sure, that pipe is leaking through a crack, but water's still flowing where it needs to go, right? Just like that legacy codebase held together by Stack Overflow snippets and prayers. Touch it to "improve" things and suddenly you've got 47 new bugs and a weekend of emergency hotfixes. The true mark of a senior developer isn't writing perfect code—it's knowing exactly which janky solutions to leave the hell alone.

That moment when your deadline is tomorrow and the proper solution would take 5 hours, but that sketchy Stack Overflow answer with zero comments could fix it in 5 minutes. The eternal battle between doing it right and just making it work. We all know which one wins when the project manager is breathing down your neck. Who needs documentation when you have caffeine and blind optimism? Future you can deal with the technical debt... right?

When the boss says "fix it ASAP but don't touch the production environment," you improvise. Instead of properly fixing the clock that's stuck behind a wall, someone just taped a piece of paper with the missing numbers. Classic production fix that follows the letter of the law but violates its spirit—exactly like when you patch that mission-critical service with a hardcoded value instead of refactoring the entire codebase. Hey, if it passes the integration tests, ship it!
