The Documentation Detective Strikes Again

Ah, the duality of developer existence. Top panel: Confidently reading documentation with glasses, feeling like a coding genius who understands complex algorithms and design patterns. Bottom panel: Completely melting into a puddle after forgetting how to write a basic switch statement—something you've used approximately 500 times before. The impostor syndrome speedrun: 15 seconds flat. Your CS degree is crying in the corner.

THE ABSOLUTE DESPAIR! You've spent 6 hours debugging that bizarre error, frantically Googling every possible keyword combination, and the ONLY result is some poor soul who posted the EXACT same issue on GitHub four years ago with ZERO replies! Not even a "me too" comment! Just eternal digital tumbleweeds! You're basically Napoleon exiled to programming purgatory, staring at the ocean of unsolvable bugs while your deadline approaches faster than your will to live. Might as well start writing your resignation letter because clearly this bug was created by ancient coding demons specifically to destroy YOUR career!

Top panel: "Does writing code make you happy?" with hands gripping a pen showing "YES" written on paper. Bottom panel: Same hands, but now writing "YESTERDAY IT ONLY MADE ME CRY 3 TIMES" Progress in programming isn't measured by eliminating tears, but by reducing their frequency. Three crying sessions? That's practically a good day. The rest of the week must have been absolute hell.

Picture this: the client wants a demo in 30 minutes, your code is held together by prayer and duct tape, and half your features are still returning "undefined" like it's their job. So what do you do? You grab whatever functional pieces you have and FRANTICALLY try to make them look connected and impressive, even though behind the scenes it's absolute chaos. That excavator desperately trying to lift itself? That's you trying to present a polished product while simultaneously being the broken mess that needs fixing. The sheer audacity of attempting the impossible while gravity (and reality) screams "NO!" is every developer's Thursday afternoon. Bonus points if you're live-coding fixes during the actual demo while maintaining eye contact and a confident smile.

Content When your 'friend' asks you to help find the bug in their code but they haven't written any documentation and their variable names are meaningless

The box has already been opened before someone read the instructions. Just like how developers implement features before reading documentation. The comment says exactly what to do, but the hole in the box suggests someone already ignored it completely. Bonus points for the irony that the comment is in square brackets, proper syntax, and still got ignored. Typical Tuesday in any codebase.
