I’ll start with: medical conditions, everyone would prefer to have an average well known and curable disease than a special case or a unique one

Developers when they search for a bug and no google result comes up. ChatGPT starts hallucinating mad and starts suggesting generic steps that you already did. And you’ve been slacking off for a few days because you know it’s small biscuits and you can clutch in a few hours. But you start working just before the deadline and now the dread is slowly setting in.

I discovered a legit bug in the handling of switch statements I a for loop in Actionscript 2 way back when Flash was still a thing.

Until I finally killed my blog about it last year, it was the only result other than my post on the adobe site around the same time. I don’t think it ever got fixed, but didn’t keep following after the iPhone finished off flash.

I don’t know about y’all, but I’d prefer not to win a Darwin Award.

I’m ineligible to win the Darwin award.

Edit: huh, having kids doesn’t disqualify you.

Idk, depends. I’m a chronic loopholer, I’m definitely the reason for a few rules, and probably the reason for a few signs.

Now, signs that denote someone did something stupid (like you probably meant,) yeah I agree. Oh boy there I go loopholing again.
