Ever opened your old project, looked at a line of code, and thoughtβ¦
βWho the hell wrote this mess?β
β¦and then Git calmly whispered:
βIt was ...

I was looking for
DELETE FROM Users;orrm -rf /I'm glad I didn't find them. But
git reset --hard HEAD~1is also pretty scary.π Trueee! βDELETE FROM users;β is pure horror-movie-level code.
But yeahβ¦ git reset --hard HEAD~1 β thatβs psychological horror.
I once wanted to do
git rebase -i HEAD~4and for some reason I wrotegit reset --hard HEAD~4Haha feels like
βI wanted to edit history.β
βHistory decided to delete me instead.β π
For me it was :
try {// very long code doing lot of stuff
}catch(e){
this.toast.error('Something went wrong!'); // who knows what went wrong π«£
}
Lol i thought i was the only one who was scared of the 1st and 2nd one π€£
Hahaha same!
Those two lines are the reason I triple-check every terminal command now π
Happy halloween!
Happy Halloween! ππ» Thanks for stopping by!

β also known as:
βI didnβt need those changes anywayβ¦ right? RIGHT??β π
exactly! π
For me, it was
SELECT * FROM dbo.HugeTableWithoutIndexes WHERE DATEDIFF(DAY, ADateColumn, @AParam) = 0Boom! A server on fire and users calling!This is the kind of query that doesnβt just run β it hunts CPUs for sport ππ₯
Haha this hit way too close π
Every developer has that one βtemporary fixβ still haunting production β mineβs a console.log buried so deep Iβm scared to delete it now.
Love how you turned cringe moments into a growth reminder β itβs the perfect Halloween post for devs π»π»
π omg yes β the haunted console.log that no one dares remove
At this point itβs not debugging, itβs a stability ritual
Thanks for the love! π»π»

Ten objects, one reference. Ten bugs, one developer crying π...love it! hahahaha
Happy Halloween, Sylwia! π
That line of code gave me more bugs than my entire QA team combined πͺ²π
Happy Halloween, Aaron!
Using the
rm -rf, using Ubuntu, i deleted all my UI on the system and was just able to work as if it was a server with just terminalHahaha I love Linux and its whole
βYou wanted power? HERE. HAVE ALL THE POWER.β
I swear, everyone who survives an rm -rf incident instantly gains +1 seniority π
You're right. You learn the hard way
Sometimes I try to find the formula for calculating a percentage, and I write a comment for the rule of three, like this
// a 100%
// b x
// x = b * 100 / a
I'm not very proud of having to write it down so I can visualize it
OMG yes π
I swear, every time I have to calculate a percentage my brain goes:
βYou knew this in 4th grade. Not anymore.β
Hahaπ
we all do such mistakes
Haha exactly π
If youβve never broken something by accident, are you even a real dev? π
Indeed mam
I know right?
background-color: red;is obviously the better choice. Still doing it, I'm not ashamed :pborder: red; = βsomethingβs offβ
background: red; = βeverything is on fire but at least I can SEE itβ π₯π
Respect. Zero shame.
Had to stifle my laughter reading this one ππ
Growth really looks like the embarrassing code we wrote two years ago π
Hahaha yesss π
Nothing shows progress like looking back at old code and thinking
βwowβ¦ I was confidently wrong back thenβ π
πππ
Happy for growth
Who's never done this?
Literally every dev ever π
The real horror isnβt the empty catch β itβs when you forget you wrote itβ¦ and it silently eats every error for 6 months π
very chatgpt content
βVery ChatGPT contentβ β perfect!
Iβll add that to my rΓ©sumΓ© right under βprofessional code regret collectorβ π
Awesome Sylwia, happy halloween!
Thanks a lot! Wishing you a bug-less Halloween ππ
I just love #5 and #8. Especially #5 when it is committed in git and deployed to a public facing national website πππ
Hahaha yesss π
Thereβs nothing like the adrenaline of realizing your βtemporary fixβ is now serving an entire country in production π«
i can relate to the console.log ones haha
I always say Iβll remove them βlaterβ.
Spoiler: later is now part of the legacy codebase π
You can still recover from 'git reset --hard HEAD~1' with 'git reflog'. Now try 'crontab -r' β because apparently '-e' means edit and '-r' means nuke everything, no prompt. :-D
Thatβs the kind of command where you press Enter and immediately hear distant screaming β and then realize itβs your own π

"π₯ Coba sekali, pengen lagi. Sensasi menang di JO777 emang beda!"
Itβs November 4th and this Halloween post just refuses to die π
Honestly at this point it has more undead energy than any zombie movie.
Thanks for all the terrifying code stories β keep them coming π
