Dream Job Turned Nightmare

Came in to design buttons, left solving algorithmic puzzles that haven't been relevant since college. The classic bait-and-switch where you apply for a frontend position but they test you like you're joining NASA's engineering team. The blank stare is every developer who just wanted to talk about responsive design but is now mentally calculating time complexity while their soul leaves their body. Fun fact: "Longest Common Prefix" is basically asking you to find the shared beginning of a bunch of strings. Useful for autocomplete features, not so much for centering a div.

Electron apps: where your simple to-do list needs 800MB of RAM because why optimize when you can just ship an entire Chromium browser with it? The developer confidently explains their revolutionary idea while someone from a timeline where RAM actually costs money arrives to stop this madness. But modern devs don't care—memory is cheap and abundant, so let's just bundle V8, Node.js, and the kitchen sink for that calculator app. Meanwhile, embedded systems engineers are weeping in a corner with their 64KB constraints.

The eternal programming conversation that happens in every developer's head at 2 AM: Spent three hours writing a function? Check. Tested it thoroughly? Not even once. Then comes the inevitable moment of confusion when nothing works, followed by the crushing realization that you never actually called the function. It's like building an entire swimming pool and forgetting to fill it with water. The function is just sitting there, perfectly written, completely useless, silently judging your life choices.

The classic programmer's paradox: you write perfectly logical instructions, yet your code decides to interpret them like that one stubborn coworker who "technically followed the requirements." It's that magical moment when your function returns undefined instead of the meticulously calculated value, or when your CSS decides that "100% width" actually means "overflow by 3 pixels for absolutely no reason." The true programming experience isn't writing code—it's spending 4 hours debugging why your perfectly valid code is executing your exact instructions in the most chaotically malicious way possible.
