Classic case of "works perfectly in dev, breaks spectacularly in production." The gap between developer intent and user reality is why we can't have nice things... or why QA departments exist.

Oh, you thought you were going to have a peaceful evening with your significant other? Wine, candles, maybe some jazz playing softly in the background? THINK AGAIN, SWEETHEART. Production just went down harder than your romantic plans, and now you're frantically typing away on your laptop while your partner gives you the death stare across the table.

Real skill is making things work with whatever rusty toolbox you've got, not needing the latest framework-of-the-week to ship a basic CRUD app. The devs who actually know what they're doing? They're too busy fixing your mess to brag about their setup on LinkedIn.
