The Six Stages Of Code Grief

Behold, the emotional rollercoaster EVERY developer is legally required to ride! 🎢

You start with such BLISSFUL IGNORANCE - "I got the job! I'm going to write beautiful code and change the world!" Sweet summer child.

Then comes the AUDACITY to ask for documentation. How DARE you assume basic professional standards exist?!

The soul-crushing revelation: "The code IS the documentation." Translation: "We're too chaotic to document anything, good luck figuring out this dumpster fire!"

But WAIT! It gets WORSE! No comments either! Because who needs to understand what's happening? Clarity is for the WEAK!

Then the FINAL DESCENT into madness: three-letter variable names. Was 'idx' too LUXURIOUS? Did 'tmp' seem TOO DESCRIPTIVE?

And the GRAND FINALE - 2000+ lines per file! Because nothing says "I hate humanity" like a single file that could print out as a NOVEL.
