The Eternal Developer Promise

Ah yes, the classic interview fairy tale where bosses claim "we don't have technical debt" with a straight face. That's like saying "our codebase is flawless" or "all our documentation is up-to-date." The detective's doubt button might as well be a nuclear launch button at this point. Every company has technical debt lurking in the shadows. It's either hiding in that legacy system nobody wants to touch, or in that "temporary fix" from 2015 that somehow became permanent. The only question is whether they're honest enough to admit it or if you'll discover it on day three when they ask you to "just make a small change" to the monolithic spaghetti monster powering their entire operation.

OH. MY. GOD. The existential crisis when you suddenly realize that the print() function wasn't named by some cosmic random coding deity but because it LITERALLY PRINTED STUFF ON ACTUAL PAPER! 🤯 My entire programming life has been a LIE! Those ancient developers sitting there with their teletypewriters, watching their code physically PRINT OUT like some prehistoric fax machine while we're over here thinking we're so clever with our fancy terminals. I can't even process this level of obviousness that somehow escaped my brain for YEARS. Next you'll tell me "mouse" is called that because it RESEMBLES AN ACTUAL RODENT?! I need to lie down.

Someone made a Spotify playlist called "Songs About Vim" and it's basically a cry for help disguised as music curation. The track titles perfectly capture the Vim experience: "What Am I Doing Here" (opening Vim for the first time), "How Did I Get Here" (accidentally entering insert mode), "Can't Get Out" (the classic :q struggle), "Asdfjkl;" (panic mashing keys), "Shut It Down" (desperately trying to exit), and my personal favorite - "Rebooting" (the nuclear option when all else fails). Every single song title is a mood that represents a different stage of the Vim learning curve. The playlist creator really said "I'm in pain but make it aesthetic." The fact that this playlist has 1,198 saves means there's a whole community out there bonding over their shared trauma of being trapped in a text editor.
