It's Unacceptable For A Modern-Day Language To Throw Cryptic Error Messages

The eternal developer purgatory: staring at an error message that might as well be written in ancient Sumerian. "Bad argument on line 237" — thanks for narrowing it down to just the entire function. Modern languages with their PhDs and billions in funding still can't tell you what you did wrong without making you feel like you're decoding the Enigma. Sure, let's spend 3 hours debugging what turns out to be a missing semicolon. Totally reasonable use of my finite existence on this planet.

Especially If It's Not Your Code

OH. MY. GOD. The sheer AUDACITY of adding ONE MORE FEATURE to code that's already a tangled nightmare of spaghetti highways! 💀 That simple little "1001st thing" transforms your beautiful intersection into an absolute HELLSCAPE of confusion! And honey, when it's someone else's code? You might as well throw your computer out the window and change careers! That one tiny requirement is the difference between sanity and needing therapy for the next six months! The mental breakdown is not a possibility—it's SCHEDULED!

My Teacher Always Says: Do Your Project With Knowledge That Your User Is Stupid

Developer: "Tea bags are so intuitive they don't need instructions." End user: *dunks entire tea bag, wrapper and all, into hot water* And that's why we write documentation for even the most "obvious" features. Users will find ways to break your software that you couldn't imagine in your worst fever dreams. The line between intuitive and incomprehensible is thinner than your project deadline.

Sometimes I Even Remove Unused Variables

The duality of a developer's existence in one perfect image. On the left, we have the glorious mess that somehow passes all tests - a monument to "if it works, don't touch it." On the right, the cleaned-up, top-hat-wearing version we frantically create right before pushing to the repository. Nobody needs to know about the 17 nested if-statements and that one variable named "temp_final_ACTUALLY_FINAL_v2." Just slap on a bow tie, remove those unused variables, and pretend you wrote it that way from the start. The Git history never reveals the true horrors that occurred at 3 AM when you finally got that algorithm working.
