Dreams vs. Reality: The Developer's Journey

Oh SWEETIE, look at you! Started your dev journey with GRAND VISIONS of changing the world with revolutionary open-source projects that would make humanity WEEP with gratitude! Fast forward to reality: you're crying into your keyboard at 3AM trying to center a div or debugging why your function returns undefined for the 47th time today. Your GitHub is a GRAVEYARD of half-finished projects with names like "cool-app-v2-FINAL-ACTUALLY-FINAL" while you spend your days making enterprise software that tracks how many bathroom breaks employees take. The AUDACITY of our younger selves to have dreams! 😭

Git Gud Or Die Trying

Oh. My. GOD. The three stages of Git desperation captured in their natural habitat! 😱 On the left, we have the blissfully ignorant newbie who thinks git clone is the height of sophistication. HONEY, JUST WAIT. In the middle? That's you after discovering the UNHOLY TRINITY of git commands - cherry-pick , bisect , and rebase . The tears! The grinding teeth! The DRAMA of it all! And finally, the dark side. When you've stared into the abyss so long you've become one with it. rm -rf repo is no longer a tragedy - it's SWEET RELEASE. The bell curve doesn't lie, darling. We all end up in the same Git hell eventually. Resistance is FUTILE!

The Computer Science Factory Is Hiring

Nothing says "I understand technology" quite like thinking Computer Science is about manufacturing computers. Dad's response is the perfect encapsulation of why explaining your career to family is harder than explaining recursion to a first-year student. The classic disconnect between what non-tech people think we do ("oh, you can fix my printer!") versus the reality of crying over a missing semicolon at 2AM. The computer science factory is currently hiring - must have 10 years experience in a language that's 3 years old and be willing to work for exposure.
