The Sacred Debugging Sanctuary

The five stages of grief hit differently when reviewing your own code from yesterday. First comes the nervous finger-biting, then the slow realization, followed by the blank stare of disbelief, then the "oh god what have I done" face-palm, and finally the existential horror of knowing you have to fix whatever abomination you unleashed. The worst part? You were probably so proud of that "clever" solution when you wrote it. Ten hours and three coffees later, and suddenly you're archaeologist of your own terrible decisions.

Ah, the classic CS major paradox! You casually mention your degree and suddenly everyone thinks you're some tech deity who can resurrect their 15-year-old laptop with a single touch. Meanwhile, the truth is you're just another mortal who spends hours debugging a missing semicolon and occasionally whispers sweet nothings to your compiler hoping it'll cooperate. The only thing you're "jacked into" is your fifth cup of coffee while Stack Overflow judges your existence. This is why we can't have nice conversations at family gatherings.

This is the perfect children's book explanation of tech debt! The dog Haggis never fixes his roof because when it's raining, it's too wet to work (aka "we're too busy putting out fires to refactor"), and when it's sunny, it doesn't need fixing (aka "why fix what isn't breaking production right now?"). Meanwhile, the ladder in the sunny picture is the perfect metaphor for the tools we finally get approved in the budget once the problem becomes critical. By then, the dog is desperately hanging out the window while his house slowly deteriorates. The real kicker? That ladder isn't even tall enough to reach the roof. Just like how management finally approves refactoring but only gives you two sprint cycles to fix three years of shortcuts.
