Only God Knows What This Code Does Now

Coding something and understanding it for exactly 2.7 seconds before it becomes an indecipherable mess? That's the universal developer experience. You write some brilliant hack at 2AM, feeling like a genius, only to return later wondering if your cat actually wrote it while walking across your keyboard. The worst part? That code somehow runs perfectly in production, and you're now terrified to touch it because it's held together by digital duct tape and prayers. Documentation? That would've been a great idea... yesterday.

When Your Calculator Has An Identity Crisis

The calculator that prints "Hello World" instead of 35 is the perfect representation of a developer's first project. Sure, it doesn't actually calculate anything, but who cares about functionality when you've successfully made your code say something? The transition from "I'm going to build a calculator" to "Look, it prints text!" is basically the developer equivalent of planning to clean your entire house but settling for organizing one drawer and calling it a productive day. At least it doesn't throw an exception, which is already better than 90% of first projects.
