Debug The Debugger

The classic "Fast, Good, Cheap: Pick Two" engineering trilemma meets the harsh reality of modern dev life. Except now we've added a fourth option: "Vibe Coding" – where you're just having a good time with your vibrating... code editor. Spoiler alert: that massager isn't fixing your technical debt, but it might help you cope with the existential dread of that legacy codebase you inherited. Management still expects all four options simultaneously, naturally.

The modern freelance developer's business model in its purest form. Get paid $20 to fix a bug, immediately spend half of it on a Copilot subscription that probably wrote the buggy code in the first place, and pocket a measly $10 profit. The smug anime girl just makes it perfect – that face when you realize you're essentially paying GitHub to help you fix the mess their AI created. It's the circle of tech life: create problems, sell solutions, repeat.

THE AUDACITY of developers rejecting actual debugging tools! 💅 Why spend a measly 10 minutes setting up a proper debugger when you can WASTE YOUR ENTIRE EXISTENCE adding and removing console.logs like a caveman?! The sheer drama of watching your code vomit random variables into the console while you frantically add more logs is just *chef's kiss* PEAK DEVELOPER SELF-SABOTAGE! And don't even get me started on the theatrical performance of removing all those console.logs before committing your code—only to add them ALL BACK when the bug reappears 5 minutes later! It's not procrastination, it's an ART FORM!
