When you're a solo game dev, you're simultaneously the architect, the implementer, and the future maintainer of your own codebase. The real plot twist? All three versions of you are pointing fingers at each other for that spaghetti code disaster.

Current you is trying to add a new feature and wondering why the physics system is held together with duct tape and prayer. Last week you thought it was a clever optimization. Last year you... well, last year you clearly had no idea what you were doing but somehow it shipped.

The beautiful tragedy of solo development: there's nobody else to blame, so you end up in a three-way Mexican standoff with your past selves. Spoiler alert—they all lose because you still have to refactor that mess.
