The Great Debugging Escape

Nothing says "I value our friendship" like asking for help with undocumented code featuring variables like x1, temp, and doTheThing(). That slow Kermit retreat is the physical manifestation of my soul leaving my body when I realize I'm about to waste 3 hours of my life deciphering someone's digital hieroglyphics. Pro tip: if you want help debugging, maybe name your variables something other than "stuff" and "idk" first.

The Great Fried Egg Debate

Opera GX: "We've added the fried egg back to program files due to popular demand." Also Opera GX: "We saved 18kb by removing this fried egg image that's been sitting in our codebase since 2019." Nothing says "professional software development" quite like embedding random food pictures in your browser. Somewhere, a developer spent actual work hours arguing about egg retention in a code review. And people wonder why software updates take so long.

I Am Not A Magician But I Do Pull Fixes Out Of Thin Air

The secret sauce of senior developers isn't magical knowledge—it's knowing exactly what to Google. That "10 years of experience" on my resume? That's just 10 years of increasingly sophisticated search queries. The beautiful irony is that while junior devs feel ashamed about searching for basics, the rest of us are frantically Googling "how to center div" for the 500th time. The difference? We've just gotten better at hiding our browser tabs during meetings.
