The Programmer's Emotional Pendulum

The programmer's metronome of self-perception swings wildly between "I just refactored this entire codebase in one night, I am basically a deity" and "I've spent 3 hours debugging and it was a missing semicolon, I should be banned from touching keyboards." There is no middle ground in this profession - just the daily emotional rollercoaster between feeling like you've hacked the matrix and wondering if you should've become a sheep farmer instead.

How Jurassic Park Could've Ended

"I'll master Python!" (applies first layer of clown makeup) "I'll become a backend wizard!" (adds tearful blue eyeshadow) "I'll create CSS ART, for heaven's sake!" (dons rainbow wig) And by December? We're the COMPLETE CLOWN, honking our red noses at the ONE tutorial we barely finished. The transformation is INEVITABLE, darling! Our ambitions are writing checks our commitment simply cannot cash!
