Shrimp Posture Achieved: Chasing a 'Funny Error' Down the Rabbit Hole

Description

An imgflip-watermarked meme showing a large photorealistic shrimp seated in an ergonomic office chair, its curved body perfectly mimicking terrible hunched developer posture, claws resting near the armrests. Top caption: 'READING THAT FUNNY ERROR'. Bottom caption: 'THAT WILL DEFINITELY NOT BE A RABBIT HOLE'. The shrimp-in-chair riffs on the 'shrimp posture' desk-ergonomics meme, while the text captures the universal trap: a single amusing log line at 5pm that mutates into a six-hour spelunking expedition through stack traces, GitHub issues from 2017, and your own spine

The error message was funny; the dependency graph it summoned was not.
