Three Stages Of Debugging

That moment when your senior dev abandons ship and suddenly you're staring at legacy code like a toddler with a beard contemplating life choices over iced coffee. You've got the title but none of the wisdom. The codebase is now your problem, and you're still trying to figure out why that one function works at all. Time to start drinking something stronger than coffee and pretend those 3 months of experience totally prepared you for this responsibility.

The eternal developer cycle: abandoning a graveyard of unfinished projects to chase the dopamine hit of starting something new. That shiny new project idea looks so promising while you're neck-deep in technical debt and spaghetti code from your previous attempts. "This time I'll use proper documentation! This time I'll write tests first! This time I won't hardcode everything!" Spoiler alert: you won't. But hey, at least the first three days of every new project feel like pure genius before reality sets in.

That awkward moment when IT starts explaining how they "fixed your computer" by rebooting it while you silently judge them in 12 programming languages. The face says it all—a perfect blend of restraint and superiority as you nod along, mentally refactoring their entire explanation while wondering if they know you wrote the authentication system they just called "magic computer stuff." The eternal struggle of being too polite to mention you could automate their entire job with a bash script you wrote during lunch.

The quintessential developer habitat in its purest form. Computer desk in one corner, mattress on the floor in the other. Why waste precious time on furniture when you could be debugging that infinite loop? The proximity between bed and workstation ensures maximum efficiency—roll out of "bed," slide 6 feet to chair, code for 18 hours, collapse back onto mattress. Repeat until startup acquired or mental breakdown, whichever comes first. Interior designers hate this one simple trick!

The optimism of "I'll just fix this one bug" followed by the reality of destroying your entire development environment is the circle of programming life. That serene morning coffee moment when you think you're about to conquer a simple issue... only to end up in the fetal position by afternoon, surrounded by the smoldering ruins of your workstation. The real bug was the hubris we developed along the way.
