Ah, the good old time warp of debugging. You sit down to fix what seems like a "quick bug" and suddenly you're in a parallel dimension where five hours feels like one. The smug Arthur meme face says it all—that mix of pride and delusion when you think you've been grinding for hours but it's literally been negative time. Every senior dev knows this feeling... except usually it's "since yesterday" and it's actually been three weeks.

When Wednesday Never Ends
Ever notice how Wednesday feels like it lasts an eternity? Some developer clearly did. While normal days like Monday and Tuesday get standard enum values, Wednesday gets the special treatment with Wednesday , Wedneshour , Wednesminute , and Wednessecond . Because that middle-of-the-week day doesn't just pass by—it stretches into its own time dimension where each second feels like an existential crisis. This is what happens when programmers document the actual perceived length of days instead of just following the calendar.

Time Has Been Flying Since 2020
The GPU time warp is real! While some poor souls are already complaining about the RTX 5090 being "terrible," others are mentally stuck in 2022 thinking the 4090 just launched "a few months ago." The pandemic really broke everyone's internal clock—two years of GPU generations might as well be two weeks. Next they'll be shocked to learn we're not still in March 2020 and sourdough isn't trending anymore.

Time Travelers Fix Bugs Before They Happen
Ah, the classic time paradox of debugging! When your friend points out you've been working on a bug fix "since 5pm" but it's only 4pm, they've unwittingly stumbled upon one of programming's greatest secrets: debugger time dilation . That thousand-yard stare says it all—you've been so deep in the debugging rabbit hole that you've not only lost track of time, you've somehow traveled to a future where you've already spent an hour fixing it. The real horror? That Friday deploy is still happening regardless of which timeline you're in!
