The Cursor-Based Debugging Method

The eternal developer's paradox: rejecting perfectly functional apps because "someone else built it" while gleefully wasting entire weekends reinventing the wheel. Nothing screams "programmer" like spending 47 hours coding your own to-do app because the existing ones don't have that one obscure feature you'll use exactly once. The "deal-with-sunglasses" transformation represents that magical moment when you convince yourself that your janky homemade solution is somehow superior to the polished product with years of development and an actual QA team. It's not NIH syndrome—it's "professional growth"!

The eternal cycle of software development. Junior dev hands over a note begging for code review before production deployment. Senior dev crumples it without a second thought and tosses it away. Nothing says "I believe in you" quite like throwing someone directly into the fire. The production server makes an excellent teacher - cruel, but effective. That burning sensation? It's just your career growing.

The eternal project management cycle: asking developers for two days to write unit tests? Skeptical SpongeBob with raised eyebrow. Hiring expensive consultants to build a test automation framework that'll be abandoned in 3 months? ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED SpongeBob. The same PM who won't allocate time for basic testing will somehow find budget for a six-figure automation solution that nobody on the team knows how to maintain. Then we'll all act surprised when the codebase is still a dumpster fire six months later.

C++ developers watching Rust evangelists talk about memory safety is the programming equivalent of a wolf staring down a chihuahua. Sure, the chihuahua is making valid points about not eating the neighbors, but the wolf's been managing just fine with raw power and sharp teeth for decades, thank you very much. After 35 years of manual memory management, we've seen some things. And yeah, maybe we've caused a few segfaults that took down production servers at 2AM, but that's just character building.
