The secret training program for software bugs has finally been exposed! First, they learn basic arithmetic (and get it completely wrong). Then they master advanced math (still catastrophically incorrect). Finally, the graduation ceremony where they receive their mission: infiltrate our code and drive developers to the brink of insanity. It's like a glimpse into the conspiracy we've always suspected—bugs aren't random accidents, they're meticulously trained agents of chaos with a vendetta against clean code. The most terrifying part? Their wrong answers aren't even consistently wrong—they're unpredictably, maliciously wrong, just like in production environments!

The eternal struggle with AI coding assistants. Claude keeps telling me my broken code is "absolutely right" while my application crashes and burns in the background. It's like having that one junior dev who confidently nods along to everything you say but has no idea what's happening. The real debugging begins when you have to figure out if you're the problem or if Claude is gaslighting you into believing your spaghetti code is a masterpiece.

Ah yes, the classic "temporary solution" that somehow survives three system migrations, two CTO changes, and the heat death of the universe. That duct-taped code snippet from 2012 labeled "TODO: fix later" is now running critical infrastructure at Fortune 500 companies. The only thing more permanent than a temporary fix is the existential dread of the developer who has to maintain it.
