Updating My CV As We Speak

The self-proclaimed "open source contributor" who created exactly one Hello World repository and now acts like they're Linus Torvalds at a dinner party. Nothing screams "expert developer" quite like pushing six lines of code that print text to a console and then mansplaining the importance of community-driven software development. The audacity of these GitHub tourists thinking their profile deserves a resume section is just *chef's kiss* peak coding culture.

The classic programmer amnesia syndrome in full display! Nothing quite like the journey from "this code is garbage" to "oh wait, I wrote this masterpiece" in 0.5 seconds flat. That moment of horrified judgment—complaining about global variables and try-catch blocks spanning miles—only to realize you're critiquing your own digital fingerprints. The cognitive dissonance of immediately pivoting to "actually, the logic isn't that bad" is pure self-preservation at work. It's like finding an old diary entry and thinking "who wrote this nonsense?" before recognizing your own handwriting. The mental gymnastics we perform to protect our fragile programmer egos deserve an Olympic medal.

Living dangerously means writing code so questionable that the senior dev has to personally intervene. It's like leaving landmines in your pull request and watching the explosion from a safe distance. Career advancement through chaos theory.

The superhuman ability to spot a missing semicolon in someone else's 5000-line codebase vs. the complete blindness to your own glaringly obvious infinite loop that's been crashing production for three days. The cognitive dissonance is real! Your brain literally transforms into Patrick Star when reviewing your own masterpiece of spaghetti code. It's like having microscopic vision for others' syntax errors but developing sudden selective code blindness the moment you open your own pull request.

OH THE SHEER DEVASTATION! 💀 You've spent the last two hours crafting 200 lines of pure genius—algorithms that would make Dijkstra weep with joy—and then your computer just... DECIDES IT'S HAD ENOUGH OF EXISTENCE! That moment when your finger hovers over Ctrl+S but you thought "I'll save it after this one little change" for the 47th time in a row. Your computer is literally contemplating digital suicide rather than dealing with your chaotic coding habits! The universe's way of teaching you that auto-save features exist for a reason, you magnificent disaster!

The ultimate power trip isn't becoming CEO—it's being the sole developer on your own repository. Nothing quite matches the thrill of creating a pull request, switching accounts, and giving yourself a glowing review before smashing that merge button. "Excellent code, me. Very clean implementation." Who needs code reviews when you can have a meaningful conversation with yourself? It's basically the software development equivalent of giving yourself a medal... while nobody's watching.
