Ah, the classic "eyebrow of doom" from engineering managers. One minute you're confidently estimating a task at 2 days, then they raise a single eyebrow and suddenly you're frantically adding buffer time like you're padding a college essay word count. The self-flagellation is real – going from "I can definitely do this" to "I am but a mere impostor who doesn't deserve a keyboard" in 0.3 seconds. The worst part? Deep down you know those original estimates were already padded by 30%. It's the corporate equivalent of writing yourself a self-deprecating note on your own forehead.
