The four stages of developer delusion:
Stage 1: "Sure, sounds easy enough... I think I can finish that task in 20 minutes" *confidently frames the world with hands*
Stage 2: *grabs head in existential despair as reality sets in*
Stage 3: *stretching in preparation for the long coding marathon ahead*
Stage 4: "how do i make a browser" *desperately Googling basics*
The classic 20-minute task that evolves into questioning your entire career choice. Tale as old as compiler time.
