Boolean Humor Is Never False

The four stages of accidental programming genius: First, the dread of facing a complex feature from scratch. You know, that moment when you stare at the requirements doc and contemplate a career change. Then somehow, fueled by panic and caffeine, you bang out the entire implementation in one day. Not even sure how that happened. But wait—it actually works on the first try? No 17-hour debugging session? No StackOverflow spiritual journey? And the final ascension to godhood: discovering your code handles edge cases you didn't even know existed. You've transcended mere programming and entered the realm of cosmic accident. Your code is better than you are.

The perfect encapsulation of a programmer's emotional rollercoaster. One minute you're experiencing the euphoric high of code finally working, and 2 minutes later you're questioning your entire existence because it inexplicably broke. That brief dopamine hit when something works followed by the crushing existential dread when it doesn't - the universal constants of software development. No debugging technique prepares you for the psychological warfare your own code wages against you.

Adobe's business strategy flowchart right here. They had two perfectly reasonable options: sell Photoshop or PS5 games. Instead, they chose the corporate villain route—jack up prices and enshittify everything. But wait, there's more! They invested trillions in AI, and now their angry customers are literally reverse engineering their own software using that same AI. It's like they speedran "How to Make Your Users Hate You 101" and got a world record. The irony is chef's kiss: pour billions into AI tech, only to have it weaponized against you by the very people you've been price-gouging for years. Nothing says "sustainable business model" quite like training your customers to replace you.

The difference between how versioning should work and how it actually works in some codebases. According to semantic versioning, you increment the major version (like 1.0 to 2.0) when you make changes that break backward compatibility. But then there's that one developer who breaks something with literally every commit and somehow still has a job. Their changelog probably just reads "Fixed stuff, broke other stuff" for every release. It's basically the software development equivalent of playing Russian roulette with a fully loaded gun.
