Junior developer: "How do I remember what my code does?"

Senior developer: "That's the neat part. You don't."

The true hallmark of experience isn't perfect memory—it's the calm acceptance that you'll inevitably forget everything you write. That's why we have comments, documentation, and git blame. The senior's mustache contains more wisdom than all of StackOverflow combined.

Low Level Temptation

When you've been writing high-level code for months and suddenly Assembly language walks by with all those sexy direct hardware instructions. Meanwhile, C just stands there watching you betray your programming principles for a chance to manipulate memory addresses directly. Sure, you'll regret it when you're debugging segmentation faults at 2AM, but for now... that bare metal performance is just too tempting.

Always The Same

Nothing quite matches the existential horror of revisiting your own code from a year ago. First comes the shock and disgust ("Why? WHY?"), followed by that moment of resigned understanding ("Oh, that's why") when you remember the impossible deadline, the 2AM energy drinks, and that one Stack Overflow answer you copy-pasted with blind faith. Your past self was simultaneously a genius for making it work and an absolute villain for what they did to your future debugging sessions.
