The Art Of Selective Blindness

todo-memes, technical-debt-memes, code-comments-memes, procrastination-memes, developer-habits-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

Selective blindness is a core developer skill. Those TODOs are like the digital equivalent of that pile of laundry you've been stepping over for weeks. Sure, they're there, screaming for attention with their all-caps urgency, but acknowledging them would mean actually having to do something about them. Better to just pretend they don't exist until code review forces your hand. Future you can deal with it – that guy's always been a bit of a sucker anyway.

Imposter Syndrome Is Real

That moment when you perform major surgery on your codebase with zero confidence, hit run, and somehow everything still works. Your face: pure shock. Your boss: relieved but clueless about the cosmic miracle that just occurred. Your coworkers: silently calculating how long until your hack explodes in production. Nobody understands that your success was 10% skill, 90% divine intervention. You'll take this secret to your grave while updating your resume... just in case.
