When you spend 45 minutes manually formatting your code with spaces and tabs like some kind of medieval scribe, only to remember that linters and formatters exist. The bird's violent reaction to seeing the linter/formatter is every developer who's ever done repetitive manual work that could've been automated in 2 seconds.
The real kicker? After destroying the linter in a rage, there's that moment of clarity where you realize you just wasted time AND made yourself look like you've never heard of Prettier or Black. That's when the "streamlined development experience" cope kicks in—trying to convince yourself that manually formatting code somehow builds character or makes you a better developer.
Spoiler: It doesn't. Just use the formatter next time.
