Ah, the irony! A website claiming to expose social media manipulation can't even manipulate its own code to function without JavaScript 🤦‍♂️. Maybe if they spent less time trying to be the digital Sherlock Holmes and more time on basic web development, they wouldn't need to apologize for their existential crisis. 💻🔧

🤣 Oh no, someone missed an ampersand in their code! Clearly, this earth-shattering #typo has halted the progress of #C++ and #Rust #development forever. Thank goodness for Rust's magical powers that save us from our own incompetence! 🎩✨

After spending 2 hours doing complex coding in #PsychoPy, the programme crashed & none of my changed were saved 😩. At least that takes care of Monday‘s to-do list 🤷‍♀️. #AcademicMastodon #CodingFail
Learning to write code is like trying to speak to someone in a foreign language. Except if you make even the smallest mistake in your grammar, they slap you across the face  #GameDev #codingFail

```
from hashlib import md5
md5 = None
if condition == True:
md5 = md5(local_file.read_bytes()).hexdigest()
```

It took me too long to realise why #Python was complaining that NoneType wasn't callable...

Yes, I need sleep...

(For the non-coders or other sleep-deprived, I was overwriting the function I was calling with 'nothing' by reusing the function name as variable name...)
