Young you: All the time in the world, endless energy to code through the night, but your bank account is crying in the corner. Adult you: Finally making that sweet developer salary, but suddenly time becomes a mythical creature you only hear about in legends, and your energy bar is perpetually stuck at 50%.
Then there's the programmer stage—the FINAL BOSS of life optimization failures. Every single stat bar has rage-quit existence. No time because you're debugging legacy code from 2003. No money because you spent it all on mechanical keyboards and RGB everything. No friends because they're tired of hearing about your new framework obsession. No energy because Stack Overflow went down for 5 minutes and you had an existential crisis. And reasons to live? Well, at least there's that new JavaScript framework dropping next week... oh wait, three more just launched while you were reading this.
The progression from "broke but energetic" to "rich but exhausted" to "why do I even exist" is the developer lifecycle nobody warns you about in those coding bootcamp ads.
