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.

You're Sentenced To Coding On Windows For A Week

The judge has spoken, and the verdict is brutal. Imagine being a developer who's spent years in the blissful world of Linux or macOS, crafting code in peaceful terminals with package managers that actually work... only to be sentenced to the special hell that is Windows development. One week of fighting with PATH variables, dealing with backslashes in file paths, and watching that spinning circle of doom while your IDE crashes for the fifth time today. Not to mention the sheer joy of Windows Defender quarantining your executables because they look "suspicious." For hardened criminals they have solitary confinement. For developers, they have Windows.

Don't Get My Hopes Up

That fleeting moment of joy when you find the perfect function in the docs, only to have your soul crushed in four stages of documentation grief. First comes hope, then the deprecation warning (which you ignore because it still works, right?), then the gut punch that it's completely gone, and finally the existential crisis when you realize the new API designers decided your use case wasn't worth supporting anymore. Nothing says "welcome to programming" like building your entire solution around a function that's secretly on death row.
