The Programmer's Emotional Roulette Wheel

The programmer's emotional roulette wheel has precisely two settings: "I'm a genius" and "I suck." That tiny sliver of genius euphoria comes right after fixing a bug that took 8 hours to solve (which was just a missing semicolon). The massive "I suck" portion represents the other 23 hours and 59 minutes of the day when your code inexplicably breaks after adding a single comment. No middle ground exists in this profession—just the perpetual whiplash between godlike omnipotence and questioning your career choices.
