You know, it's a funny thing. When IntelliJ sees a type error or syntax error in your Java code, it offers a little yellow light bulb. You click on it and it helpfully offers several things that might fix your problem.

Well, one of the students in my class, in like the second of week of class when they're still learning the language, helpfully took one of those suggestions. What happened? The student was trying to add something to a list. They passed in a whole list rather than just a single thing. (Type error!) The suggested fix? Rewrite the list.add() function to always take a list. This change ripped throughout the code, the interface, everywhere, causing a giant stack of syntax errors. The student, needless to say, required assistance to set things right.

It might not *look* like a Clippy, but it can sure *act* like a Clippy.
