Surprise Promotion To Senior Panic

CONGRATULATIONS on your instant promotion to senior dev! One minute you're just minding your business, writing questionable code, and the next minute BAM! Your mentor abandons ship and suddenly you're expected to know where all the bodies are buried in the codebase! That thousand-yard stare says it all - you're now drowning in legacy code that NO ONE documented, fielding questions from management who think you're the expert, and chugging coffee like it's the only thing keeping your imposter syndrome at bay. Welcome to tech leadership, sweetie! Hope you like being tagged in 3AM production emergency Slack messages!
