This Little Maneuver Gonna Cost Us Fifty One Years

Writing code is pure bliss. You're in the zone, fingers flying across the keyboard, creating beautiful abstractions, feeling like a god. Then you hit run and something breaks. Now you're stepping through line 247 for the 18th time, questioning every life decision that led you to this moment, wondering if that business degree your parents suggested wasn't such a bad idea after all.

The debugging phase is where dreams go to die and Stack Overflow tabs multiply like rabbits. You'll spend 4 hours hunting down a bug only to discover you misspelled a variable name or forgot a semicolon in a language that actually needs them. The ratio of coding time to debugging time is basically a lie we tell ourselves to get through the day.
