Content When you search StackOverflow for 10 seconds and can't find the solution for your error message THANKS FOR NOTHING

Remember when code reviews meant finding your coworker's spaghetti logic and passive-aggressive variable names? Now it's just you, questioning your existence while scrutinizing AI-generated code that's somehow both flawless and completely nonsensical. The modern code reviewer: frantically Googling obscure algorithms at 2 AM because you can't tell if GitHub Copilot is brilliant or hallucinating. "Is this O(log n) solution actually genius or am I being gaslit by a language model that learned to code from Stack Overflow?" Nothing grinds your gears quite like spending your precious human life debugging code written by a machine that doesn't even get tired or need coffee breaks.

This is peak programming education right here! A function called getRandomNumber() that just returns 4 with a comment claiming it was "chosen by fair dice roll" and "guaranteed to be random." The irony is delicious. It's like saying "I'll pick a random card from this deck" and then always grabbing the ace of spades while maintaining eye contact. The "!false" with "It's funny because it's true" is the chef's kiss of programmer humor. This is basically what happens when you ask a junior dev to implement a random number generator after they've had three energy drinks and zero sleep.

Ah, the ancient art of developer revenge. That guy who said "it's all in the documentation" before quitting? Yeah, he left you hieroglyphics. Nothing says "figure it out yourself" quite like documentation that requires a Rosetta Stone to decipher. The best part? He's probably sipping margaritas somewhere, giggling every time he imagines you staring at his "comprehensive notes" with that thousand-yard debug stare. This is why exit interviews should include a documentation sanity check and why we all secretly fear the phrase "Bob was the only one who understood that system."

The sliver of lime green representing "writing new code" versus the massive navy blue pie slice of "debugging" isn't a chart—it's a documentary of my life. That brief moment of productivity when you write 10 lines of fresh code, followed by the 8-hour descent into madness trying to figure out why your semicolon is causing a nuclear meltdown in production. The ratio is so accurate it hurts. Just another Tuesday.
