The Developer Attention Spectrum

Nothing triggers an existential crisis faster than the "favorite programming language" question. It's like asking a parent to pick their favorite child—except all your children have weird syntax issues and occasionally throw tantrums for no reason. The blank, thousand-yard stare is perfect because you're mentally cycling through all the languages you've loved, hated, and reluctantly used to pay your bills. Python? JavaScript? C++? The correct answer is "whichever one actually works for this specific project without making me question my career choices."

That tiny blue sliver representing actual software engineers in developer subreddits is painfully accurate. The rest? Just an ocean of "How do I become a dev in 2 weeks?" and "Is tech still worth it?" posts from people who heard some podcast about 10x salaries. Meanwhile, actual developers are too busy fixing merge conflicts and wondering why their perfectly working code suddenly doesn't. Next time you're scrolling r/programming expecting deep technical discussions, remember this pie chart and lower your expectations accordingly.
