Debugging: The Definition Of Insanity

Ah, the classic game dev fantasy chart. That massive orange slice is basically my hard drive of "revolutionary game ideas" collecting digital dust since 2014. The actual coding? Just enough to remember why I hate debugging. And that tiny red sliver for playtesting? That's what we call "clicking the start button twice before giving up and daydreaming about more features we'll never implement." Honestly, this chart is missing the 40% wedge for "watching YouTube tutorials that make you feel productive without writing a single line of code."

Parents think removing devices will make their kid study, but software engineering students need those tools like a fish needs water. It's like confiscating a carpenter's hammer and saying "now build me a house." The kid's face says it all - that perfect blend of confusion, betrayal, and "you have no idea what my homework actually requires, do you?" Classic parental tech disconnect that's been happening since the first BASIC assignment was due.

OH. MY. GOD. The absolute HORROR of receiving this text message! 😱 It's like the entire programming apocalypse packed into a single notification! When your ride-sharing app has a complete meltdown and starts spewing raw code errors instead of actual information. "NaN minutes" because time is now just a meaningless concept, "[object Object]" because who needs actual driver information anyway, and "license plate undefined" because identifying vehicles is SO last century. This is what happens when the developer tests NOTHING and ships everything. Somewhere, a backend engineer is having heart palpitations while frantically scrolling through Stack Overflow.

That moment when you're thrown into maintaining legacy code and discover it's a minefield of undocumented edge cases waiting to explode. The look of pure existential terror says it all—you've entered the code equivalent of deep space, where no one can hear you scream about missing null checks and mysterious conditional logic that somehow keeps the whole system from imploding. The brave soul's final transmission before being consumed by the void of technical debt.
