The Wheel Reinvention Syndrome

Ah, the classic reinvention of the wheel syndrome. You spend weeks crafting your "revolutionary" tool, only to discover that not only does a solution already exist, but it's actually better than yours. And of course, your manager witnesses your moment of enlightenment. Nothing quite says "efficient use of company resources" like building something that already exists. Your commit history will remember this moment fondly.

I'm Not Asking For Much

Ah yes, the classic client scope creep. First panel: "Make me a portfolio website?" Simple enough, just slap some HTML and CSS together, maybe a touch of JavaScript. Second panel: "Now make me a simple store. How hard can it be?" Suddenly you need React, MySQL, authentication, payment processing, and whatever that circuit diagram is supposed to be. Probably the client's "simple" idea for a recommendation algorithm that "just works like Amazon's but better." It's like asking someone to build a doghouse and then casually requesting they add an infinity pool and home theater while they're at it. Because you know, how hard can it be?

Content Sebastin Ramrez tiangolo 27.1.0. I saw a job post the other day. M It required 4 years of experience in FastAPI. A I couldn't apply as I only have 1.5 years of experience since I created that thing. Maybe it's time to re-evaluate that "vears of experience skill level".
