Full Rewrite Justification

When you discover that fixing a tiny bug means jumping through an obstacle course of spaghetti code, dependency hell, and technical debt... suddenly a complete rewrite seems like the only rational option! It's like trying to remove one Jenga piece but realizing the entire tower is held together by hopes, prayers, and that one intern's commented-out code from 2017. The "Parkour!" reference perfectly captures that mental gymnastics of justifying why touching this cursed codebase any further would be professional malpractice.

We Are Not Log-Parsing Machines

The existential crisis of every developer who's been handed a massive log dump at 4:30 PM. Your manager casually drops 10,000 lines of server logs on your lap with "just find the issue before you leave" energy. Like sure, I'll just develop superhuman parsing abilities and skip dinner with my family. The best part? When you finally find the error, it's always something ridiculous like a missing semicolon or someone deployed to production on a Friday. Next time I'm just responding with "grep it yourself" and turning off Slack.

Speed Vs. Complexity: The AI Development Tradeoff

Sure, your AI agent built that app in 5 minutes, but good luck maintaining that spaghetti junction of code six months from now. The left shows traditional development—straightforward, predictable, maybe boring but gets you where you need to go. The right is modern AI development—looks impressive with all those fancy switches and signals, but one wrong move and your train derails into dependency hell. I've seen enough "AI-accelerated" projects crash and burn to know that speed now means tech debt later. The complexity always comes due.

Learn Css

Ah yes, the web development journey in four panels. "Learn to make a website" - sure, sounds fun! "Add the HTML" - easy peasy, just throw some tags around. "Add the CSS" - and that's where the villain origin story begins. The fourth panel showing pure existential dread is basically every frontend dev at 2AM trying to center a div. HTML is your obedient puppy, but CSS is that cat that knocks your coffee onto your keyboard while maintaining eye contact.
