The expectation vs. reality of programmer debates is brutally accurate here. Non-programmers imagine us as epic monsters battling over algorithm efficiency and optimization techniques—like we're all dropping knowledge bombs about quicksort complexity.

Meanwhile, in the trenches, we're actually like those ridiculous mascot costumes, getting heated about whether dateUpdated or updatedDate is the superior variable name. Seven years of experience and I've witnessed three-hour meetings derailed by naming conventions while actual bugs collect dust in the backlog.

The real holy wars aren't about performance—they're about whether your camelCase is dromedary enough.
