The Ergonomic Paradox Of Developers

Content when the "optimized" code runs slower than the original

Real depression isn't dramatic tears—it's your friend showing you their recursive permutation algorithm with questionable variable names and syntax highlighting that burns your retinas at 2 AM. The code looks like it was written by someone who learned Java through a game of telephone, with a swap function that's practically begging for an off-by-one error. Nothing triggers existential dread quite like having to explain why their beautiful monstrosity will crash in production.

Ah, the eternal developer paradox! The junior dev is having an existential crisis about remembering what their code actually does, while the battle-hardened senior dev drops the ultimate truth bomb: you don't . This is why we have comments, people! Though let's be honest, even with meticulous documentation, we all eventually stare at our code from 3 months ago like it was written by a cryptic alien civilization. The title "Not Even With The Documentation" just twists the knife deeper - because even when you DO document, future-you will still have absolutely no idea what past-you was thinking. The true mark of seniority isn't remembering everything - it's embracing the chaos and accepting that code amnesia is just part of the job description!
