Ever opened your old project, looked at a line of code, and thought…
“Who the hell wrote this mess?”
…and then Git calmly whispered:
“It 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.😂 Trueee! “DELETE FROM users;” is pure horror-movie-level code.
But yeah… git reset --hard HEAD~1 — that’s psychological horror.
I once wanted to do
git rebase -i HEAD~4and for some reason I wrotegit reset --hard HEAD~4Haha feels like
“I wanted to edit history.”
“History decided to delete me instead.” 💀
Lol i thought i was the only one who was scared of the 1st and 2nd one 🤣
Hahaha same!
Those two lines are the reason I triple-check every terminal command now 😭
Happy halloween!
Happy Halloween! 🎃👻 Thanks for stopping by!
git stash cleargit stash clear
→ also known as:
“I didn’t need those changes anyway… right? RIGHT??” 😭
exactly! 😂
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 doesn’t just run — it hunts CPUs for sport 😭🔥
Haha this hit way too close 😂
Every developer has that one “temporary fix” still haunting production — mine’s a console.log buried so deep I’m scared to delete it now.
Love how you turned cringe moments into a growth reminder — it’s the perfect Halloween post for devs 👻💻
😂 omg yes — the haunted console.log that no one dares remove
At this point it’s not debugging, it’s a stability ritual
Thanks for the love! 👻💻
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
“You wanted power? HERE. HAVE ALL THE POWER.”
I swear, everyone who survives an rm -rf incident instantly gains +1 seniority 😅
You're right. You learn the hard way
7️⃣ Array(10).fill({})
Ten objects, one reference. Ten bugs, one developer crying 😭...love it! hahahaha
Happy Halloween, Sylwia! 🎃
That line of code gave me more bugs than my entire QA team combined 🪲😭
Happy Halloween, Aaron!
Haha😀
we all do such mistakes
Haha exactly 😄
If you’ve never broken something by accident, are you even a real dev? 😅
Indeed mam
Who's never done this?
Literally every dev ever 😂
The real horror isn’t the empty catch — it’s when you forget you wrote it… and it silently eats every error for 6 months 😭
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 😂
I swear, every time I have to calculate a percentage my brain goes:
“You knew this in 4th grade. Not anymore.”
Had to stifle my laughter reading this one 😂😂
Growth really looks like the embarrassing code we wrote two years ago 💀
Hahaha yesss 😅
Nothing shows progress like looking back at old code and thinking
“wow… I was confidently wrong back then” 💀
😂😂😂
Happy for growth
I know right?
background-color: red;is obviously the better choice. Still doing it, I'm not ashamed :pborder: red; = “something’s off”
background: red; = “everything is on fire but at least I can SEE it” 🔥😂
Respect. Zero shame.
I just love #5 and #8. Especially #5 when it is committed in git and deployed to a public facing national website 😂😂😂
Hahaha yesss 😂
There’s nothing like the adrenaline of realizing your “temporary fix” is now serving an entire country in production 🫠
i can relate to the console.log ones haha
I always say I’ll remove them “later”.
Spoiler: later is now part of the legacy codebase 😂
Awesome Sylwia, happy halloween!
Thanks a lot! Wishing you a bug-less Halloween 😄🎃
You can still recover from 'git reset --hard HEAD~1' with 'git reflog'. Now try 'crontab -r' — because apparently '-e' means edit and '-r' means nuke everything, no prompt. :-D
That’s the kind of command where you press Enter and immediately hear distant screaming — and then realize it’s your own 😅

very chatgpt content
“Very ChatGPT content” — perfect!
I’ll add that to my résumé right under “professional code regret collector” 😎
"🔥 Coba sekali, pengen lagi. Sensasi menang di JO777 emang beda!"
It’s November 4th and this Halloween post just refuses to die 🎃
Honestly at this point it has more undead energy than any zombie movie.
Thanks for all the terrifying code stories — keep them coming 👇
