Ever opened your old project, looked at a line of code, and thoughtโฆ
โWho the hell wrote this mess?โ
โฆand then Git calmly whispered:
โIt was ...
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
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.๐ Trueee! โDELETE FROM users;โ is pure horror-movie-level code.
But yeahโฆ git reset --hard HEAD~1 โ thatโs psychological horror.
I once wanted to do
git rebase -i HEAD~4and for some reason I wrotegit reset --hard HEAD~4Haha feels like
โI wanted to edit history.โ
โHistory decided to delete me instead.โ ๐
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 ๐ซฃ
}
Lol i thought i was the only one who was scared of the 1st and 2nd one ๐คฃ
Hahaha same!
Those two lines are the reason I triple-check every terminal command now ๐ญ
Happy halloween!
Happy Halloween! ๐๐ป Thanks for stopping by!

โ also known as:
โI didnโt need those changes anywayโฆ right? RIGHT??โ ๐ญ
exactly! ๐
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 doesnโt just run โ it hunts CPUs for sport ๐ญ๐ฅ
Haha this hit way too close ๐
Every developer has that one โtemporary fixโ still haunting production โ mineโs a console.log buried so deep Iโm scared to delete it now.
Love how you turned cringe moments into a growth reminder โ itโs the perfect Halloween post for devs ๐ป๐ป
๐ omg yes โ the haunted console.log that no one dares remove
At this point itโs not debugging, itโs a stability ritual
Thanks for the love! ๐ป๐ป

Ten objects, one reference. Ten bugs, one developer crying ๐ญ...love it! hahahaha
Happy Halloween, Sylwia! ๐
That line of code gave me more bugs than my entire QA team combined ๐ชฒ๐ญ
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
โYou wanted power? HERE. HAVE ALL THE POWER.โ
I swear, everyone who survives an rm -rf incident instantly gains +1 seniority ๐
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 ๐
I swear, every time I have to calculate a percentage my brain goes:
โYou knew this in 4th grade. Not anymore.โ
Haha๐
we all do such mistakes
Haha exactly ๐
If youโve never broken something by accident, are you even a real dev? ๐
Indeed mam
I know right?
background-color: red;is obviously the better choice. Still doing it, I'm not ashamed :pborder: red; = โsomethingโs offโ
background: red; = โeverything is on fire but at least I can SEE itโ ๐ฅ๐
Respect. Zero shame.
Had to stifle my laughter reading this one ๐๐
Growth really looks like the embarrassing code we wrote two years ago ๐
Hahaha yesss ๐
Nothing shows progress like looking back at old code and thinking
โwowโฆ I was confidently wrong back thenโ ๐
๐๐๐
Happy for growth
Who's never done this?
Literally every dev ever ๐
The real horror isnโt the empty catch โ itโs when you forget you wrote itโฆ and it silently eats every error for 6 months ๐ญ
very chatgpt content
โVery ChatGPT contentโ โ perfect!
Iโll add that to my rรฉsumรฉ right under โprofessional code regret collectorโ ๐
Awesome Sylwia, happy halloween!
Thanks a lot! Wishing you a bug-less Halloween ๐๐
I just love #5 and #8. Especially #5 when it is committed in git and deployed to a public facing national website ๐๐๐
Hahaha yesss ๐
Thereโs nothing like the adrenaline of realizing your โtemporary fixโ is now serving an entire country in production ๐ซ
i can relate to the console.log ones haha
I always say Iโll remove them โlaterโ.
Spoiler: later is now part of the legacy codebase ๐
You can still recover from 'git reset --hard HEAD~1' with 'git reflog'. Now try 'crontab -r' โ because apparently '-e' means edit and '-r' means nuke everything, no prompt. :-D
Thatโs the kind of command where you press Enter and immediately hear distant screaming โ and then realize itโs your own ๐

"๐ฅ Coba sekali, pengen lagi. Sensasi menang di JO777 emang beda!"
Itโs November 4th and this Halloween post just refuses to die ๐
Honestly at this point it has more undead energy than any zombie movie.
Thanks for all the terrifying code stories โ keep them coming ๐
