My Teacher Always Says: Do Your Project With Knowledge That Your User Is Stupid

Developer: "Tea bags are so intuitive they don't need instructions."

End user: *dunks entire tea bag, wrapper and all, into hot water*

And that's why we write documentation for even the most "obvious" features. Users will find ways to break your software that you couldn't imagine in your worst fever dreams. The line between intuitive and incomprehensible is thinner than your project deadline.

The Metronome Of Developer Emotions

The metronome of developer emotions! One minute you're debugging a seemingly impossible issue thinking "I should've just become a finance bro," the next you've solved it and you're basically a tech deity. Then the cycle repeats when you hit a new bug and suddenly feel like you've forgotten how to code entirely. The metronome perfectly captures that wild pendulum swing between "I'm the greatest programmer alive" and "I don't deserve to touch a keyboard" that happens approximately 17 times per workday. No other profession oscillates between impostor syndrome and god complex this rapidly!

The classic programmer's dilemma! When your university teacher announces they'll teach Python for OpenCV because "most students don't know it," but you're standing there with 8 years of experience facing two equally painful paths: either pretend you're learning everything from scratch (boring castle on the left) or flex your skills by showing off some absolutely demonic code that'll make your professor question their career choices (haunted lightning castle on the right). The fork in the road represents that moment of decision every experienced dev faces in intro classes - do I play it safe or do I unleash chaos? Spoiler alert: we always choose chaos.
