It's Not Me, It's Known

The evolution of developer confidence in three simple steps:

1. Junior dev: "I don't know what's happening" *frantically Googles error*

2. Mid-level dev: "I don't know but I'll figure it out" *opens Stack Overflow with determination*

3. Senior dev: "It's a known issue" *closes ticket without explanation*

The real senior dev superpower isn't knowing everything—it's knowing how to make your ignorance sound like industry wisdom. Bonus points if you say it with enough confidence that the client thinks it's part of the roadmap!

Life In A Startup: The Endless Pivot Nightmare

Oh sweet mother of all that is holy in tech! 😩 The CEO beaver is having another "visionary moment" while the developer beaver is just BEGGING for stability! The absolute TRAUMA of hearing "I have big plans" for the 47th time this quarter! Meanwhile, the developer's soul is actively leaving their body as they contemplate how they'll rewrite the ENTIRE codebase AGAIN because someone read a Medium article about microservices over breakfast! The eternal startup cycle of build, pivot, cry, repeat!

Still Works Though

Trying to run IntelliJ on a 2017 MacBook Air is like streaming Netflix on a vintage TV from the 80s. Sure, it technically works, but your laptop fans are screaming louder than a junior dev who just deleted production. The JVM is consuming more resources than your entire AWS bill, and every keystroke has a 500ms lag that makes you question your career choices. But hey, at least you can tell everyone you're "optimizing for hardware constraints" while secretly shopping for a new M1.

I Mean It Gets The Job Done Right

Left side: The Olympic-level precision shooter with fancy tools representing project management apps like Notion, Airtable, Trello, and Slack. Right side: The middle-aged dude pointing a pistol like he's never held one before—that's you with your TODO.txt file sitting right on your desktop. Let's be honest—we've all downloaded those productivity apps, spent 6 hours setting them up, created 47 categories, color-coded everything... only to abandon them three days later for the trusty text file that just works. No syncing issues, no notifications, no subscription fees—just pure, unfiltered digital hoarding in plain text. Sophistication is overrated when chaos in a .txt file has never let you down.
