Dear Universities, Proofreading Matters Too

You know that feeling when you write some absolutely cursed code that somehow works, and you're riding high on that divine knowledge of what every line does? Fast forward six months—or let's be real, six days—and you're staring at your own creation like it's an ancient hieroglyph. The cat's smug expression perfectly captures that initial confidence: "Yeah, I'm a genius, I know exactly what's happening here." Then reality hits when you need to modify it and suddenly you're praying to the code gods for enlightenment because even you can't figure out what past-you was thinking. No comments, no documentation, just pure chaos. The transition from "only god & I understood" to "only god knows" is the programmer's journey from hubris to humility, speedrun edition.

You know you're living the dream when your AI coding assistant decides you've had enough help for the month. Nothing says "professional developer" quite like getting rate-limited by your virtual pair programmer while you're in the middle of debugging production code. The transition from "vibing with AI autocomplete" to "manually typing like it's 2010" hits different. One moment you're flying through features with your AI buddy suggesting entire functions, the next you're staring at your keyboard wondering how people actually coded before GPT became their unpaid intern. Bonus points if you hit the limit right before a deadline and suddenly remember you actually need to know how to code without an AI holding your hand. Welcome back to Stack Overflow, old friend.
