I Believe It's Still Not Fixed But I Don't Care

6 hours ago 123.3K views 0 shares

The five stages of grief, git edition. Starts with "Fixed bug" (4 files changed, clearly overthinking it). Then "Actually fixed bug" (2 files, getting more confident). By commit three it's "Fixed bug frfr no cap" because apparently we're peer-pressuring ourselves into believing our own lies. Then comes the manic "BUG FIXED!!!!" with just 1 file—either genius-level simplicity or complete delusion. Final commit: "it was not" (2 files). The makeup gets progressively more unhinged, which tracks perfectly with the mental state of someone who's been staring at the same bug for six hours. We've all been there. Ship it anyway.

Stress Driven Development

Testing Agile Programming Debugging

Managers when developers mention TDD (Test-Driven Development): visible discomfort, sweating, existential dread. But mention SDD (Stress-Driven Development)? Suddenly they're grinning ear to ear like they just discovered the secret to infinite productivity. Because why would you want your team writing tests before code when you could just add impossible deadlines, constantly shifting requirements, and a sprinkle of panic? Who needs code quality when you have cortisol? TDD requires planning, time, and understanding that quality matters. SDD just requires a calendar and the ability to say "we need this yesterday." Guess which one fits better in a quarterly earnings report?

Developer Logic: It's Not A Bug… It's An 'Unexpected Feature'!

Developer Logic: It's Not A Bug… It's An 'Unexpected Feature'!

The ancient art of developer spin doctoring at its finest! When QA finds a catastrophic leak in your code, you don't panic and fix it like some amateur—no, no, no. You simply slap some duct tape on it, add a fancy fountain animation, call it a "feature," and watch the stakeholders applaud your "creative vision." Bonus points if you can convince them it was intentional all along and charge extra for the "premium water feature package." The transformation from disaster to masterpiece is truly the developer's greatest superpower.

Average PM Energy

Oh honey, the PROJECT MANAGER has entered the chat with the most DEVASTATING clapback in tech history! Just because they don't write code doesn't mean they're sitting there twiddling their thumbs – they're out here orchestrating your chaotic developer energy into something resembling a functional product. The dramatic four-panel escalation is *chef's kiss* because it captures that defensive energy PMs bring when developers start acting like they're the only ones who matter. "I don't develop software... but not because I can't code" – the AUDACITY! The confidence! The sheer unbothered excellence of someone who chose management over semicolons! Plot twist: Some PMs actually CAN code but decided they'd rather herd cats (you) than debug your spaghetti code at 3 AM. Respect the hustle.

True Senior Engineers Answer

Oh, the DIVINE WISDOM of senior engineers! When you dare ask them for a simple deadline, they transform into mystical fortune tellers who speak only in riddles and philosophical paradoxes. "The answer will reveal itself" – translation: "Bold of you to assume time is linear, junior." They've reached such an enlightened state of engineering consciousness that they no longer operate on mortal concepts like "dates" or "commitments." Instead, they've ascended to a realm where deadlines exist in a quantum superposition of "maybe Tuesday" and "when the stars align." The best part? They're not even wrong! After years of watching "two-week projects" turn into six-month odysseys, they've learned that giving ANY specific date is basically signing a blood oath with the demo gods. So they just... don't. Truly, this is the wisdom that comes with surviving a thousand production incidents.

When Code Actually Behaves🤣

Users: mild interest, polite nods. Developers: absolute pandemonium, pointing at screens, fist pumps, questioning reality itself. There's something deeply suspicious about code that works on the first try. No stack traces, no cryptic error messages, no emergency Slack pings at 2 AM. Just... functionality. Users think "cool, it works" while devs are frantically checking logs, re-running tests, and wondering what cosmic horror they've unleashed that's masquerading as working code. Because let's be real: when your feature actually works as expected, you're not celebrating—you're paranoid. Did I forget to commit something? Is production secretly on fire? Did I accidentally fix that bug from three sprints ago? The dopamine hit is real, but so is the imposter syndrome of "there's NO WAY I wrote code this clean."

Does This Only Happen To Me?

Friday evening: code works flawlessly, everything compiles, tests pass, you're basically a genius. You confidently push your changes and decide to finish it Monday. Monday morning: your laptop has apparently achieved sentience over the weekend and decided to reject everything you wrote. The same exact code that worked 72 hours ago now throws errors like it's personally offended by your existence. Spoiler alert: it happens to literally everyone. The code didn't change, but somehow the universe did. Maybe you accidentally updated a dependency, maybe Mercury went into retrograde, or maybe your machine just needed to remind you who's really in charge. Welcome to software development, where Friday You and Monday You are eternal enemies.

When You Have To Give Demo And Your Project Is Not Ready

Picture this: the client wants a demo in 30 minutes, your code is held together by prayer and duct tape, and half your features are still returning "undefined" like it's their job. So what do you do? You grab whatever functional pieces you have and FRANTICALLY try to make them look connected and impressive, even though behind the scenes it's absolute chaos. That excavator desperately trying to lift itself? That's you trying to present a polished product while simultaneously being the broken mess that needs fixing. The sheer audacity of attempting the impossible while gravity (and reality) screams "NO!" is every developer's Thursday afternoon. Bonus points if you're live-coding fixes during the actual demo while maintaining eye contact and a confident smile.

You spend weeks writing documentation. Beautiful, comprehensive docs with examples, edge cases, troubleshooting sections—the whole nine yards. You even add diagrams because you're fancy like that. Then someone opens a ticket asking the exact question answered in the first paragraph of the README. The sad truth? Documentation is like that gym membership everyone has but nobody uses. Developers would rather spend 3 hours debugging, ask on Slack 47 times, and sacrifice a rubber duck to the coding gods than spend 5 minutes reading the docs. It's not that the bridge isn't there—it's that everyone's too busy trying to swim across the river. Pro tip: If you want people to read your docs, hide the solution in a Stack Overflow answer. That they'll find in 0.3 seconds.

When Project Is Not Ready But The Client Wants A Demo

When your client schedules a demo for tomorrow and your project is basically held together with console.log statements and prayers. You're out here doing the software equivalent of an excavator trying to high-five itself—technically impressive, wildly unnecessary, and definitely not what anyone asked for. But hey, if you present it with enough confidence and jazz hands, maybe they won't notice that half the features are just placeholder text and the backend is literally just you manually updating a JSON file. The art of the demo isn't showing what works; it's creatively avoiding what doesn't.

Feature Updates Gone Wrong

You know that feeling when your codebase is running smooth, optimized, and beautiful? Then product management decides it needs "just one more feature" and suddenly you're introducing unnecessary complexity, bloat, and technical debt. The monkey with a stick represents that shiny new feature nobody asked for, aggressively poking at your pristine, battle-tested code that was perfectly content just lying there being efficient. The lion's resigned expression? That's your code after the 47th "quick enhancement" that somehow required refactoring three modules and adding two new dependencies. Sometimes the best feature is no feature at all, but try explaining that in a sprint planning meeting.
