When Debugging Sucks

Started the day with a perfectly functional codebase, ended it with a segmentation fault. Just another Tuesday! The skeleton weightlifter represents my physical and mental state after 12 hours of debugging memory allocation issues. That moment when your code goes from "it works on my machine" to "core dumped" faster than you can say "pointer arithmetic." The best part? I probably caused it by trying to optimize something that was already working fine. Nothing says "software engineer" like turning functional code into a spectacular crash because you just HAD to refactor that one function.

The eternal lie we tell ourselves: "I'll just finish coding this in the morning when I'm fresh" - followed by the harsh reality of waking up looking like a debugger crashed mid-execution. That morning freshness is just as mythical as documentation that stays updated. The only thing fresh at 8am is the crushing realization that yesterday-you was an optimistic idiot who left today-you with half-working code and three energy drinks worth of technical debt.
