Junior Vs Senior Dev: The CSS Reality Check

The eternal developer paradox captured in one image. Four years of coding and suddenly you're expected to be a guru? The confident cat on the left is what non-technical people imagine—a seasoned expert with "lots of knowledge." The traumatized cat on the right is the reality—staring into the void, questioning if you know anything at all. The more you learn, the more you realize how little you actually know. Four years in and you're still Googling how to center a div and wondering if anyone else feels like they're just making it up as they go. Spoiler alert: we all are.

Oh, the sacred developer ritual of feature toggles! You spent 3 weeks implementing that beautiful, elegant feature with perfect test coverage and documentation. Your code is your baby. Then the client casually asks, "Can we just have a switch to turn it off?" PAIN. The worst part? Deep down you know they'll never actually use it, but you still have to set it to false by default because "business requirements." That cat's teary eyes represent every developer who's had to wrap their masterpiece in if(featureEnabled) blocks while silently whispering "just say you want to remove it entirely, you coward."

Behold, the digital butterfly effect in its purest form. Some user somewhere is happily hammering that shiny "Generate" button because "ooh, pretty animation!" Meanwhile, the entire backend infrastructure is having a nuclear meltdown. Grafana's screaming red, MySQL's given up on life, Redis clusters have abandoned ship, and the poor DevOps folks are having collective heart attacks while Zabbix agent waves the white flag. This is why we can't have nice things. This is also why button debouncing exists, and why senior devs drink heavily.
