Fixing Errors Is Scary

That waterfall of pennies represents my soul leaving my body after hearing "works on Chrome but not Firefox" for the 500th time. The classic browser compatibility hell where your code runs perfectly everywhere except that one browser some VP insists on using. Nothing like spending 8 hours debugging a CSS flex issue that only happens in Firefox at exactly 768px width with an odd number of list items. Bonus points when the fix breaks something in Safari!

The universe has a sick sense of humor. You'll stare at your IDE for hours with nothing but static in your brain, then suddenly—mid-shampoo—the solution hits you like a freight train. The bathroom is basically a compiler for human thoughts. Something about the combination of water, isolation, and the inability to reach a keyboard creates the perfect debugging environment. Nature's cruelest joke is that your best code is written in your head while you're nowhere near a computer.

In the hallowed halls of knowledge, software programming sits right next to "unexplained phenomena" in the Dewey Decimal System. Coincidence? I think not! The library just confirmed what we've all suspected—code that works on the first try, disappearing bugs that reappear in production, and that one function nobody wrote but somehow runs perfectly... all supernatural events that defy scientific explanation. Next time your code works and you don't know why, just remember: you're not a programmer, you're a digital paranormal investigator.

Welcome to programming in the real world, where we don't memorize pointer syntax—we just copy it from the internet like functioning adults. Should someone tell her that's literally the job description?
