That magical moment when you stumble upon your ancient code and suddenly feel like a time-traveling archaeologist! 🧠✨ You stare at those cryptic functions thinking, "Wow, past me was actually a coding wizard?!" It's like finding a treasure map you wrote while sleepwalking - somehow it works brilliantly, but current you has absolutely NO IDEA how you pulled it off! The best part is when you're too scared to refactor because you might break the mysterious spell that keeps everything running. Past you: 1, Present you: 0!

Now You Look Like A Backend Developer

Congratulations on your transformation from clean-cut frontend dev to battle-hardened backend warrior. The beard isn't just facial hair—it's a physical manifestation of the legacy code you've been maintaining. Each gray strand represents a 3AM production outage. The hollow stare? That's from staring into the abyss of database optimization. Welcome to the dark side. We have coffee. Lots of it.

The Computer Science Factory Is Hiring

Nothing says "I understand technology" quite like thinking Computer Science is about manufacturing computers. Dad's response is the perfect encapsulation of why explaining your career to family is harder than explaining recursion to a first-year student. The classic disconnect between what non-tech people think we do ("oh, you can fix my printer!") versus the reality of crying over a missing semicolon at 2AM. The computer science factory is currently hiring - must have 10 years experience in a language that's 3 years old and be willing to work for exposure.
