When the Senior Dev asks how you fixed that critical bug and all you did was add // TODO: Fix this later and somehow it works now... The look of absolute horror on Tom's face is the perfect representation of senior developers everywhere realizing their codebase is held together by digital duct tape and wishful thinking. Meanwhile, Jerry the intern is just happy the red squiggly lines disappeared from his IDE. The greatest mystery in software development isn't why the bug appeared—it's why it vanished after you acknowledged its existence in a comment. It's like the bug got embarrassed and decided to hide.

That special moment when you're halfway home on Friday and your phone buzzes with Slack notifications from the entire dev team. The calm expression hides the internal screaming as you realize your weekend just transformed into a 48-hour debugging marathon. The unwritten rule of software development: the severity of a production bug is directly proportional to how close you are to the weekend. And somehow, it's always the one line of code you thought was "too simple to test."

When someone asks what you do for a living, and your brain immediately jumps to the most unnecessarily complex implementation possible. Like, congratulations on writing a function that could be replaced with return number % 2 == 0 , but sure, let's hardcode ten separate conditions because that's definitely maintainable. Nothing says "I'm a programmer" quite like turning a one-liner into a nightmare that future you will curse at 2 AM during a production outage.
