What Was That

The five stages of grief, but make it programming. That moment when you revisit your code from 24 hours ago and go through shock, denial, confusion, horror, and finally the crushing realization that you wrote that abomination. The best part? You have absolutely zero recollection of your thought process. It's like discovering ancient hieroglyphics except you were the sleep-deprived pharaoh who wrote them. And now you have to decipher your own madness before the sprint review. Good luck explaining to your future self why you thought that 17-nested if-statement was "elegant."

That's More Scary

Serial killers and psychopaths might be terrifying, but they've got nothing on the true monsters of our industry—developers who write flawless code in Notepad with zero internet help. You know that colleague who claims they "just whipped up" a thousand-line algorithm in plain text editor, offline, and it worked perfectly the first time? Yeah, back away slowly. That's not talent—that's a warning sign. After 15 years in this field, I've come to accept that anyone who can code without Stack Overflow probably also has a basement you don't want to see. Even my IDE's autocomplete feature is questioning your life choices right now.

Very Inefficient But Entertaining

From the future archives of Twitter (or whatever Elon's renamed it by 2025)! Bill Gates innocently asks what VIBE stands for in "Vibe Coding," only for Linux creator Linus Torvalds to drop the perfect burn: "Very Inefficient But Entertaining." That's literally the coding philosophy of 90% of developers who push to production on Friday afternoons. Writing beautiful, inefficient code that somehow works is practically an art form at this point. Sure, it might take 8GB of RAM to display "Hello World," but did you see those gradient animations?

You Either Die A Text Editor Or Live Long Enough To Become Notepad++"

The developer's journey from simple text editor to fancy IDE is a lie. We all start with dreams of VS Code, Atom, or Emacs, but when the server's burning at 3AM, there you are - crawling back to Notepad++ like it's an ex you swore you'd never text again. The fancy IDEs with their intellisense and plugins are just a phase. Notepad++ is waiting at the finish line with that smug little gecko mascot saying "I told you so." Some relationships just can't be escaped.

Z-Index 99999: The Scream Into The CSS Void

Setting z-index to 99999 is the CSS equivalent of yelling "I SAID MOVE TO THE FRONT" at your monitor. Then discovering your div is still hidden because some parent element has overflow: hidden or position: static . The browser doesn't care about your desperation or how many 9s you type. It's just silently judging your CSS troubleshooting skills.
