Yeah, anyone who thinks programming is just typing code clearly hasn't spent 6 hours navigating a 47-file legacy codebase with zero documentation trying to figure out where the hell to add a simple validation check. The actual typing? That's the victory lap. The real work is archeology—digging through layers of abstraction, following the breadcrumbs of function calls, deciphering someone's "clever" design patterns from 2015, and mentally mapping out how changing one thing won't nuke three other features. Then you find the spot, write your two lines, and some PM asks why it took so long. Classic.
