What It Feels Like To Promote Your Prototype To Get Feedback
Behold, the perfect visualization of showing your prototype to the world—a literal trash possum desperately trying to convince people to try its creation. Nothing says "I know it's rough around the edges but please just give it a chance" quite like a wild animal screaming from inside a garbage bin. The duality of feeling like your project is simultaneously your precious baby AND absolute garbage that you're weirdly protective about. That moment when you've spent 47 sleepless nights on your "revolutionary" game/app/website and deep down you know it's held together with duct tape and prayers, but you're still out there hustling like a garbage marsupial.

When Prototypes Become Products
Oh, the AUDACITY! There you are, slaving away on a quick Proof of Concept that's held together with digital duct tape and wishful thinking, when management swoops in like vultures and declares your fragile prototype "production ready." That smile? That's the face of someone who just heard their weekend project is now going to be supporting millions of users! Nothing says "we value quality" like taking code that was LITERALLY NEVER MEANT TO SCALE and throwing it into production because it "seems to work well enough." Congratulations, your 3 AM caffeine-fueled hack job is now a "feature" that you'll be maintaining until the heat death of the universe! 🎉

Time Is Of The Essence
Ah, the classic developer self-deception pipeline! First stage: "Clean code? Pfft, that's for people with time to spare." Second stage: "It's just a prototype, don't judge!" Third stage: "I'll definitely refactor this... someday." Final stage: "Well, this spaghetti code is now a load-bearing wall in production and my boss wants new features yesterday." The transformation from confident developer to technical debt clown is complete! The greatest fiction in software isn't science fiction—it's the myth of "I'll clean it up later."
