The Art Of Selective Documentation Retention

OMG THE ABSOLUTE TRAUMA OF IT ALL! 😭 One microscopic comma in the wrong place and suddenly your beautiful code masterpiece transforms into an incomprehensible disaster! Your compiler throws a tantrum worthy of a toddler denied candy, spewing error messages in what might as well be ancient Sumerian. And the worst part? You'll spend THREE HOURS hunting down that missing semicolon only to find it was a comma all along! The literary world forgives typos, but programming languages? Those unforgiving syntax dictators will watch you BURN for daring to misplace a single punctuation mark! The sheer AUDACITY of computers to not just understand what we OBVIOUSLY meant!

Looks like someone found the first edge case in Taco Bell's AI system. Classic example of why you always need input validation. Some developer is probably updating their resume right now after forgetting to add a simple "if (waters > 100) { return 'Nice try, buddy' }". This is why we can't have nice things in production. Somewhere, a product manager is frantically updating the requirements doc to include "maximum order quantities" while the DevOps team drowns in incident reports.

Nothing says "we ship fast" quite like a production payment page displaying "TODO UPDATE MAPPING" as your credit card details. Someone definitely merged that PR on a Friday afternoon and peaced out for the weekend. The best part? It's on Hulu's secure checkout page. You know, where people enter their actual payment information. That TODO comment has probably been sitting in the codebase since 2019, survived multiple code reviews, passed all the tests (because who writes tests for display text?), and made it all the way to production where it's now charging real customers real money. This is what happens when your CI/CD pipeline is too good at its job. Deploy early, deploy often, deploy your TODO comments directly to paying customers.
