Appendix C: What are we doing wrong? (Or, more importantly, what are we doing right?)

Acknowledgments and Apologies

We're glad you're here! We're glad you're questioning our life choices. This appendix is dedicated to our collective failures, and we hope you find it... enlightening.

The Usual Suspects

Here are the usual culprits behind our algorithmic nightmares:

• Our intern, Bob, who thinks he's a "full-stack" developer.
• Our CEO, who still thinks blockchain is a thing.
• The janitor, who insists on using Comic Sans for all font sizes.

Step 1: The Usual Suspects

Let's start with the obvious: we're using too many buzzwords. Buzzwords like 'synergy', 'disrupt', and 'innovation' are like nails to our productivity coffin.

Next up: our team's love affair with over-engineering. We're like that one relative who just won't stop talking.

Step 2: The Algorithmic Abomination

It's time to talk about our beloved codebase. We've added so many features, we've forgotten what's under the hood.

We've got spaghetti code, we've got callback hell, and we've got... well, we've got 'feature creep'. It's like we're trying to out-kluge our own codebase.

Step 3: The UI Abomination

We've taken the phrase "user experience" and twisted it into an oxymoron: "user-experiencer". It's like we're speaking a language only our mothers understand.
