Oh. My. GOD. Trying to debug regex is LITERALLY like being an archaeologist deciphering ancient hieroglyphics with nothing but a magnifying glass and shattered dreams! You're squinting at a wall of cryptic symbols that might as well be alien transmissions, desperately trying to figure out why your pattern matches "hotdog" but not "hot dog" while slowly losing your will to live. And just when you think you've solved it? SURPRISE! It breaks in 17 new mysterious ways!

THE NINE STAGES OF PROGRAMMER EXISTENTIAL CRISIS! 😱 Top row: Your code works and you're feeling like a LITERAL GOD. But wait—as you move right, your understanding plummets into the abyss. "It works and I don't know why" is where the true horror begins! Middle row: ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE FUEL. Your precious code doesn't work, and your mental state deteriorates from "confident debugger" to "terrified code goblin" faster than you can say "Stack Overflow." Bottom row: The purgatory of "sometimes works." This is where sanity goes to DIE. The skull face says it all—you've transcended into a realm where logic no longer applies and you're just throwing semicolons at the wall hoping something sticks!
