When you need to reverse a number's sign but decide to take the scenic route through Absurdistan... This function is the programming equivalent of using a nuclear submarine to cross a puddle. The code checks if d is negative, then uses Abs() to make it positive (reasonable). But if it's positive? It subtracts d*2 from itself—a galaxy-brain approach to multiplication by -1. What makes this truly horrifying is that this overcomplicated monstrosity was part of the UK Post Office's Horizon system that led to the wrongful prosecution of hundreds of postal workers. Real people went to jail because someone couldn't write d = -d . The tragic irony? The comment literally shows the correct solution right above the function. It's like putting "just use stairs" in the elevator manual, then designing a catapult instead.

The duality of developer confidence is just *chef's kiss*. Top panel shows you smashing out code like an unstoppable green rage monster, demolishing problems and feeling invincible. Then comes the code review with senior devs and suddenly you're a shameful hulk with imposter syndrome, wondering how you ever thought your hacky solution was acceptable. Nothing humbles you faster than having three people stare at your variable names and ask "but why though?" in perfect unison.

That DEVASTATING moment when you just KNOW in your SOUL that someone's code is held together by prayers, energy drinks, and Stack Overflow copypasta — but it somehow works flawlessly in production! The absolute AUDACITY of code that violates every clean code principle yet runs faster than your meticulously crafted masterpiece. It's giving "chaotic evil genius" energy and I'm simultaneously impressed and offended. The code equivalent of wearing socks with sandals and STILL getting compliments!
