Since 1970, we've been helping developers embrace their failures and document their bugs with pride.
"To create a world where every developer feels comfortable admitting they have no idea what they're doing—because none of us do."
— The Founding Developers, 1970
Every bug is a learning opportunity. We just don't learn from them.
If a bug isn't documented, did it really crash production?
Team failures are shared failures. Mostly shared with the intern.
The institute was founded at Unix epoch zero. Our founding developers realized that bugs were not mistakes—they were features waiting to be documented.
With the invention of JavaScript, skill issues became more accessible than ever. We expanded our curriculum to include 'undefined is not a function' studies.
While the world panicked, we celebrated. The Y2K bug was our greatest triumph—proving that off-by-one errors affect everyone.
We became the official educational institution for copy-paste development. Our students no longer needed to understand code—just find it.
We containerized our skill issues, ensuring they could be replicated anywhere. 'Works on my machine' became our unofficial slogan.
We taught AI to generate bugs at scale. Now skill issues can be produced faster than ever before. The future is bright (and broken).
The prophesied day arrives. 32-bit signed integers overflow, time goes negative, and every legacy system simultaneously wakes up in 1901. Our alumni will be ready. They've been training for this their entire careers.
Our faculty are world-renowned experts in their respective skill issues. They've broken production more times than they can count.
Department Chair, Computer Science
Specialization: Runtime Errors & Existential Debugging
Dr. Undefined has spent 20 years studying why functions mysteriously stop being functions. Their groundbreaking paper 'TypeError: A Memoir' is required reading.
Fun fact: Has never successfully called a callback.
Head of Memory Management
Specialization: Dereferencing & Segfaults
Professor NullPointer pioneered the field of accessing memory that doesn't exist. Their work on 'Pointing to Nothing: A Philosophy' won the Turing Award for Confusion.
Fun fact: Doesn't exist on Tuesdays.
Director of Security Theater
Specialization: Access Control & Frustration
Dr. CORS has blocked more requests than any firewall. Their motto: 'If it's a simple request, make it complicated.'
Fun fact: Has never allowed a cross-origin request in their life.
Chair of Temporal Computing
Specialization: Time-Dependent Bugs
Professor Yesterday's code only works in the past tense. Their research on 'Bugs That Fix Themselves (Temporarily)' is legendary.
Fun fact: Their tests pass every day except today.
Director of IT Support Studies
Specialization: Percussive Maintenance
Dr. Off And On Again has solved more problems with restarts than all other faculty combined. Believes strongly in the healing power of power cycles.
Fun fact: Has restarted their own career 47 times.
Head of String Processing
Specialization: Pattern Matching & Madness
Professor Regex believes every problem can be solved with regular expressions. They now have two problems. Their seminal work 'grep -E Your Soul' is widely misunderstood.
Fun fact: Their name matches /^Prof\..*Regex$/.
