We Log Everything

The software development journey in two panels: Junior devs: "I'll just rebuild the entire codebase this weekend!" *enthusiastic arm flailing* Senior devs: "Change a label color? Let me explain why that requires refactoring three subsystems, migrating a database, and getting approval from seven different stakeholders." The irony? Both are wearing "RUN CMD" shirts, but only one knows the true runtime complexity of production code. Seniors aren't lazy—they've just stepped on enough legacy landmines to develop a healthy sense of terror.

The CS freshman starter pack is brutally accurate! They write "Hello World" once and suddenly have 4 programming languages on their LinkedIn. Their entire development environment consists of VS Code and GitKraken because the terminal is "scary." Their idea of deployment? Submitting assignments through Canvas. They'll spend hours hunting for that missing semicolon while sharing Boromir memes, and their entire personality revolves around the Minecraft-inspired "noob vs pro" dichotomy. The gatekeeping begins before they've even built anything substantial!

Ah, the infamous Java error logs - where class names are longer than your grocery list and stack traces extend further than your student loans. This dev's setup is perfect: the monitor displays the class names while the stack trace is so massive it needs its own dedicated vertical screen. When your error log requires more screen real estate than your actual code, you know you've achieved peak enterprise Java. The real cost of Java programming isn't the hardware—it's the therapy sessions after debugging these monstrosities.

The financial calculus of software development hits different at 3 AM when your servers are burning. That $150/hour senior dev you rejected? Suddenly looks like a bargain when compared to the $50,000/minute revenue loss from your payment system being down. The technical debt collector always shows up at the worst possible time, and unlike regular debt collectors, this one charges compound interest in the form of your engineering team's sanity and your customers' trust. Pro tip: The cost of prevention is always cheaper than the cost of the cure.
