Have You Tried Turning It Off And On Again?

The pre-vacation documentation marathon—where senior devs frantically explain every obscure codebase quirk, deployment ritual, and that one server that crashes if you look at it wrong. Then the inevitable horror upon return: discovering your meticulously crafted knowledge transfer resulted in precisely zero progress. The junior dev was too terrified to touch anything without your divine approval, and now your inbox contains 47 "quick questions" that could've been answered by reading the docs you spent 9 hours creating. Classic case of knowledge transfer theater!

The classic "glass half full/empty" philosophy gets the Stack Overflow treatment. While optimists see potential and pessimists focus on what's missing, Stack Overflow users just mark the entire glass as deprecated. That special feeling when your question gets closed because "drinking water is no longer supported" and you're redirected to "Why is water wet?" which was answered in 2011 by someone who no longer exists.

Oh the sudden paralysis of having someone peer over your shoulder! One minute you're typing away like a coding virtuoso, the next you're fumbling with basic syntax like you've never seen a curly brace before. Suddenly you can't remember how to write a for-loop or what a variable is. Your fingers turn to thumbs, and your brain decides it's the perfect time to completely forget that language you've been using for 5 years. Nothing says "imposter syndrome activation" like coding with an audience!

The duality of software development in its purest form. Users react to working features with the enthusiasm of someone watching paint dry. Meanwhile, developers lose their minds with excitement when their code actually works as intended. It's like watching someone celebrate finding a matching sock versus discovering cold fusion. The bar for developer happiness is so low it's practically a tripping hazard in hell.
