When You Refactor Your Code

Innocent newbie: "I'll just use array.sort() to sort these numbers!" JavaScript: *sorts lexicographically* "Did I stutter?" Nothing says "welcome to JavaScript" quite like discovering your numbers are being sorted as strings. That moment when you realize you need array.sort((a,b) => a-b) and question all your life choices that led you to web development. It's basically JavaScript's hazing ritual - "Oh, you thought programming would make sense? That's adorable."

The eternal developer paradox: spending an entire workday wrestling with broken code rather than taking five minutes to read the manual. It's not stubbornness—it's an investment strategy. Why solve a problem in minutes when you can turn it into a character-building experience that consumes your entire Tuesday? Documentation exists solely as a last resort, to be consulted only after exhausting all possible incorrect approaches first.

That moment when your code inexplicably stops working despite changing absolutely nothing. You're just sitting there, exhausted, notebook in hand, trying to solve the cosmic mystery of why the exact same lines that ran perfectly yesterday now throw 17 different errors. The universe has decided your semicolons are suddenly offensive. Time to stare blankly at the screen for three hours before discovering a ghost space character that shouldn't mathematically affect anything, yet somehow fixes everything.

The raw existential crisis of a seasoned developer who's built complex production systems that handle millions of users but completely freezes when asked to invert a binary tree on a whiteboard. Nothing says "tech industry disconnect" quite like maintaining mission-critical infrastructure by day and failing to remember how to implement quicksort by night. The gatekeeping is real, folks. Imagine building an entire fault-tolerant distributed system but getting rejected because you couldn't solve a puzzle that hasn't been relevant since your sophomore year.
