The React Hooks Mental Breakdown
Converting a simple 600-line form to React Hooks is the programming equivalent of opening a small kitchen drawer only to find yourself in a calculus fever dream.

The "9 Hour Work Day" note at the bottom is especially poetic—we all know those 9 hours somehow stretched into eternity. This isn't a bug—it's a journey into madness. And that pen strategically placed on the keyboard? That's to prevent himself from typing any more "solutions" that would require another rewrite of the entire codebase.
