You know that feeling when your PM says "just a quick 1-month project" and three months later you're still in the requirements gathering phase, arguing about button colors, and waiting for stakeholders to respond to emails from two weeks ago? Yeah, that's the developer experience in a nutshell.
The real kicker is that the "hardest part" isn't the actual coding—it's the endless meetings, scope creep, changing requirements, and the classic "can we just add one more feature?" that turns your sprint into a marathon. By month three, you've rewritten the architecture twice, switched databases once, and your original estimate is now a distant memory that haunts your dreams.
Fun fact: Studies show that software projects typically take 2-3x longer than initially estimated. So really, that 1-month project becoming 3 months is you actually being optimistic.
