Start A Refactor, Your Original Code Was Better

Ah, the classic refactoring skateboard trick that ends with a face plant. You start with perfectly working code that might be a bit messy, but hey—it works! Then some architecture astronaut decides it needs to be "cleaner" and "more maintainable." Six design patterns and three abstraction layers later, you've got a beautiful codebase that crashes in production. The original spaghetti might've been ugly, but at least it didn't fall down the stairs while trying to look cool in front of the junior devs.

Feature Demos Expectation Vs Reality

The eternal cosmic joke of software development: users barely acknowledge when something works correctly (top panel of stoic faces), but developers lose their minds with excitement (bottom panel of pure chaos). After spending 3 weeks debugging that one edge case that happens only on Tuesdays when Mercury is in retrograde, seeing your feature actually work in production feels like winning the lottery. Meanwhile, users are just like "yeah, that's what it's supposed to do, right?" The gap between these reactions is why senior devs drink so much coffee.

I Already Know That Making Code Prettier Is A Mistake

The eternal development cycle that nobody warns you about in CS classes. First, you hack together something that miraculously functions. Then, overcome with shame at your spaghetti code, you decide to "refactor" and "beautify" it with proper indentation, meaningful variable names, and comments. Suddenly, your perfectly working monstrosity transforms into a beautifully formatted disaster that crashes spectacularly. The universe has a simple rule: code beauty and functionality exist in inverse proportion to each other. It's basically quantum physics for developers.
