The eternal cycle of developer hubris! First panel: "I'm gonna build this from scratch because libraries are for WEAKLINGS." Second panel: "Let me just quickly Google how to actually do this..." Third panel: *silent realization that this is way harder than expected* Fourth panel: *frantically copy-pasting Stack Overflow answers while questioning life choices* Nothing humbles you faster than attempting to reinvent the wheel only to discover the wheel requires calculus, physics, and three programming languages you don't know. And yet we keep doing it. Why? Because we're developers and pain is our love language.

The Clown Transformation Pipeline

The Clown Transformation Pipeline
The gradual transformation into a complete clown represents the self-delusion of developers who think their undocumented code will somehow remain comprehensible over time. Sure, you wrote it yesterday and understand it perfectly. Fast forward six months and you'll be staring at your own creation like it's written in hieroglyphics. Future you will hate present you. Your teammates? They've already started building the voodoo doll.

Sanity Not Found

Sanity Not Found
The duality of developer life in its purest form. One minute you're cackling at other teams' API disasters with a smug "not my problem" attitude. The next minute? You're frantically fixing production because your own codebase is a flaming dumpster fire. It's the tech version of karma โ€“ mock someone else's circus, and suddenly your own monkeys start flinging code excrement with remarkable precision. The universe has a sick sense of humor when it comes to developer hubris.

Rewriting Code From The Scratch

Rewriting Code From The Scratch
The AUDACITY of that developer suggesting a complete rewrite! ๐Ÿ’€ One second you're peacefully maintaining legacy code, and the next some MANIAC drives by screaming about "rewriting from scratch" like it's not the most terrifying phrase in existence! And then - THE PLOT TWIST - they can't even read the existing codebase! DARLING, how are you going to rewrite what you don't understand?! It's like saying "Let's rebuild this house" when you can't tell a load-bearing wall from a decorative vase! The absolute CHAOS of suggesting nuclear options while being completely clueless is peak developer confidence!
