25 tabs open. 5 documentation pages half-read. 2 bugs silently mocking me. 1 terminal compiling... maybe. IDE says ‘Build Successful’. I know it’s lying. But yeah, I’m being productive. ☕😅 #Java #DevLife #CodingHumor #TechCommunity #DeveloperHumor

It looks like nothing.
Acts like a ghost.
Breaks your code… silently. 🫣

String a = "hello";
String b = "hel​lo"; // 👀 ← Copy carefully!

System.out.println(a.equals(b)); // false 😵

😵‍💫 Modulo Mayhem: Java vs Math

Let’s talk % with negative numbers.

🧮 What we expect (true modulo):
•-7 % 3 = 2
•-5 % 3 = 1
•-2 % 3 = 1
•-1 % 3 = 2

🤔 But in Java:
•-7 % 3 = -1 ❌
•-5 % 3 = -2 ❌
•-2 % 3 = -2 ❌
•-1 % 3 = -1 ❌

📉 Why?

🧩 Why is sorting O(N log N) and not just log N? Think of it this way: 🔪 You cut the cake in half repeatedly to create smaller slices. This process is like the log N part of the algorithm, as you're repeatedly dividing the problem in half. 🎂 But you still have to organize, or
