Thanks For The Help

Reaching out for help online is like playing Russian roulette with your self-esteem. You extend your hopeful little arms toward that bright yellow orb of knowledge, only to be intercepted by some rage-fueled keyboard warrior who calls your code "an abomination against computer science" before suggesting you delete your GitHub account and take up gardening instead. The best part? Their "help" is usually a cryptic one-liner that solves nothing but somehow makes you feel like you've failed at life. Welcome to programming, where the community is simultaneously the best and worst thing about it!

The fresh-faced junior dev who believed the lie that "oncall isn't too bad" has clearly been transformed into a shell of his former self. Those promised "runbooks" for another team's systems? Yeah, they're either wildly outdated or just a single README file saying "good luck!" This is what happens when you're woken up at 3AM by cryptic alerts for systems you've never seen before, while the senior devs who actually built the monstrosity are peacefully sleeping with their phones on silent. The only documentation? A Confluence page last updated in 2019 that just says "TODO: finish documentation".

Content ME AFTER GOING TO BED WITHOUT FIXING A BUG

The math checks out. What they don't tell you in CS degrees is that actual coding is just the tip of the iceberg in this profession. The rest? A delightful cocktail of existential crises. That 40% debugging time is actually 39% wondering how your perfectly logical code produced results that defy the laws of physics, and 1% finding a missing semicolon. And let's be honest, that 5% Stack Overflow figure seems suspiciously low. It's like admitting you only check your ex's social media "occasionally."
