The Four Stages Of Debugging Grief

The four stages of debugging grief: denial, anger, bargaining, and finally... enlightenment. You spend hours staring at your code, repeatedly asking "Why?" with increasing desperation until you finally paste it into Stack Overflow. Then—magically—the solution becomes blindingly obvious the exact moment someone else looks at it. Your brain suddenly decides to function properly, making you feel like the world's most competent idiot. It's like your code is deliberately gaslighting you until it has an audience.

Wouldn't Have Happened With Rust

Caveman programmer sitting in his prehistoric cave, debugging code that probably caused the extinction event outside, while smugly thinking "wouldn't have happened with Rust." The irony of using Stone Age hardware to advocate for memory-safe languages is just... *chef's kiss*. Meanwhile, his RGB gaming setup runs on actual fire. Safety first, I guess.

Please Don't Make Me Go Back There

The emotional trauma of diving back into TypeScript after swimming in the lawless waters of JavaScript is just too real. It's like going from a world where you can declare variables as whatever the hell you want, to suddenly having a strict parent checking your homework and screaming "TYPE ERROR" at every turn. That fetal position is the universal developer stance for "I've seen things in that legacy codebase that cannot be unseen." The sweet structure of TypeScript feels like both salvation and punishment after you've been living like a code bandit for too long.

The 4AM Coding Epiphany

Sleep is just a suggestion when the code starts flowing. Normal people are dreaming at 4am while developers are having their third existential crisis of the night, frantically typing away as if possessed by caffeinated demons. The brain just decides "hey, remember that bug from six hours ago? I've solved it" and suddenly you're knee-deep in a coding session that started with "I'll just try one thing" and ended with the sun rising. Sleep schedule? We don't do that here.
