Self-created problems Memes

The four stages of debugging your own code: First, the pride: "I fixed a bug today!" You're practically ready to update your LinkedIn with "Senior Bug Exterminator." Then, the crushing realization: "my own" - the bug you heroically vanquished was one YOU created. Congratulations, you played yourself. Followed by the existential crisis: "am I a genius?" The duality of being smart enough to fix something yet dumb enough to break it in the first place. And finally, the programmer's paradox: "I really can't say, but yes" - simultaneously the villain and hero of your own codebase. The circle of dev life is complete.
