The Ancient Code Hieroglyphs

Looking at your two-week-old code like it's an ancient Egyptian hieroglyph that needs a Rosetta Stone to decipher. The transformation from "this is so elegant and efficient" to "who wrote this archaeological artifact and why are there zero comments?" happens at approximately 336 hours after commit. The worst part? That indecipherable spaghetti monster came from YOUR brain, and future-you is silently judging past-you's life choices while frantically searching Stack Overflow for clues about your own logic.

What Debugging Is Really Like

Ah, the classic onion analogy. After 20 years of staring at code, I can confirm this is painfully accurate. You start with "it's just a simple bug" and six hours later you're questioning your career choices while discovering the issue was actually caused by a dependency of a dependency of a library you imported three years ago. And yes, I've definitely had that moment of silent despair during a Zoom call when layer #17 of the debugging onion made me die inside. The only difference between debugging and onions? At least with onions, you eventually reach the center.
