Blooper 1: The Infinite Loop of Doom

When a team of well-meaning engineers tried to create a simple loop to automate a process, they ended up with an endless loop that consumed all available system resources, causing the entire office to freeze up.

Debuggers: "We just wanted a simple 'hello world' loop, and it was supposed to print 'hello world' to the console. Instead, it printed 'hello world' to the console forever and ever and ever...".

Blooper 2: The Memory Leak of Despair

Another team of engineers thought they were being clever by reusing a variable to store data, but in reality, they just created a memory leak that slowly consumed all available system memory, causing the program to crash.

Debuggers: "We just wanted to store some data, and it was supposed to be stored in memory. Instead, it stored itself in a never-ending loop, causing the program to crash and the system to freeze."

Blooper 3: The Syntax Error of Madness

A lone engineer tried to write a program to calculate pi, but ended up writing a script that would print every error message it received, causing the console to fill up with error messages, making it impossible to read the actual errors.
