Bugs And Errors: The Developer's Efficiency Ratio

Content Was sitting in a video conference with RD, Product Management, Sales, etc, and on one point, RD said the new feature is not ready to roll out due to a few bugs on which the Product Manager replayed "then deleted them! We need to roll it out!" This was literally the face of anyone understanding anything about programming

Ah, the duality of developer existence. Top panel: Confidently reading documentation with glasses, feeling like a coding genius who understands complex algorithms and design patterns. Bottom panel: Completely melting into a puddle after forgetting how to write a basic switch statement—something you've used approximately 500 times before. The impostor syndrome speedrun: 15 seconds flat. Your CS degree is crying in the corner.

First you learn to program. Then you make a recursive function. Then you forget the exit condition. And then... well, you get the idea. Or rather, you get the same idea over and over until your stack overflows and your computer begs for mercy. It's like telling someone "to understand recursion, you must first understand recursion" and watching them slowly spiral into madness.

Regular developers measure performance in milliseconds or microseconds because that's what modern tools show them. Meanwhile, the true optimization psychopaths are counting individual CPU clock cycles like it's 1982. They're the ones rewriting entire functions in assembly just to save 3 cycles in a loop that runs twice a day. The difference between "fast enough" and "I need to know exactly how many nanoseconds each instruction takes."
