It Feels Like ASMR

That moment when you finish your "Hello World" tutorial and stare at the massive cargo ship of production code you're about to navigate. It's like bringing a water pistol to a tsunami. What they don't teach you in bootcamp: that cute little console.log is just the tip of a very deep, very scary iceberg filled with legacy code, tech debt, and config files that haven't been touched since 2012 because "nobody remembers what they do but everything breaks when you change them."

The real flex isn't solving the problem; it's forgetting you solved it so you can experience the joy of discovery twice.
