This Time Will Be Different

The eternal developer cycle: abandoning a graveyard of unfinished projects to chase the dopamine hit of starting something new. That shiny new project idea looks so promising while you're neck-deep in technical debt and spaghetti code from your previous attempts. "This time I'll use proper documentation! This time I'll write tests first! This time I won't hardcode everything!" Spoiler alert: you won't. But hey, at least the first three days of every new project feel like pure genius before reality sets in.
