The Programmer's Confidence Curve

The eternal programmer journey in one graph! First, you install Node.js and suddenly you're a "full-stack developer" conquering Mount Stupid with unearned confidence. Then reality hits—your app crashes in production, your dependencies break, and you discover there are 47 JavaScript frameworks you've never heard of. Welcome to the Valley of Despair! Eventually, you start climbing that Slope of Enlightenment, learning that semicolons aren't optional (fight me), and that StackOverflow isn't just a website but a lifestyle. If you survive long enough, you might reach the Plateau of Sustainability, where you finally admit that no one—absolutely no one—understands webpack configs.
