The Cruel Plot Twist Of Development Life

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!

Content Factorio dev when a piece of code works "at the first try" After about 2 days of looking over the code, re- arranging, and writing comments explaining parts to myself, I had a plan for how I was going to make it work. The final changes to make everything function correctly took about 1 hour to write, and worked correctlv the first trv. That's not supposed to happen and left me with doubts. Several extra tests later, and asking Boskid to try to break it, it was confirmed to be correct.

The eternal cycle of Windows hatred continues! Developers love to rage against each new Windows version, only to become its staunchest defenders once the next iteration drops. Remember the "Windows 7 was perfect" crowd who previously swore XP was the pinnacle? Or the Vista haters who suddenly found it "not that bad" after Windows 8? The cognitive dissonance is real—we're basically Stockholm Syndrome victims with admin privileges. Microsoft could release Windows 420.69 and we'd still follow the same pattern: hate, reluctant adoption, nostalgic defense, repeat.

Remember when error messages actually told you what went wrong? Now we get this cutesy corporate BS instead of useful information. Left side: straight-up telling you the system is thoroughly screwed with an actual error code. Right side: some UX designer's fever dream of "humanizing the experience" while telling you absolutely nothing helpful. Next they'll add emojis to kernel panics and call it "user-friendly." The worst part? Some executive probably got a bonus for this brilliant rebranding of failure.
