Programmer's Creed: The Beautiful Lie

You know that feeling when you buy a game on sale, play it for 2 hours, get distracted by another sale, and suddenly you've got 247 games with a 12% completion rate? Yeah, that's every programmer's Steam library. We're collectors, not finishers. The kid taking one bite out of each apple and moving on is the perfect metaphor. "I'll come back to finish Witcher 3 after I try this new indie roguelike that's 80% off." Narrator: They never came back. It's the same energy as having 47 side projects in various states of abandonment. We're excellent at starting things, terrible at finishing them. The Steam library is just our GitHub repos but with better graphics.

Ah yes, the infamous "Friday code" phenomenon. Nothing quite like staring at your monitor on Monday morning, squinting at some bizarre algorithm you apparently wrote while possessed by the spirit of caffeine and deadlines.

OH. MY. GOD. The absolute TRAUMA of debugging for 12 HOURS only to discover it's some obscure cache issue with "Gumbies 3.0" (whatever the heck that is) and then trying to figure out what Gumbies actually does! 💀 The sheer AUDACITY of tech documentation that makes you scroll through 17 pages of meaningless buzzword salad! "Lean expressive sharding sandcube" and "watersliding phases" and "Woodchips playgrounds"?! WHAT DOES ANY OF THIS MEAN?! It's the perfect representation of modern tech - fancy words that tell you ABSOLUTELY NOTHING while name-dropping big companies to seem legitimate. And after all that scrolling, you're still left thinking "I have no idea what this thing actually does, but I guess I need it?" The circle of tech hell is complete! 🔥

It will use factors like time of day, pickup location, and how long a user interacts with the app before making a decision." That's not Al.
