Welcome To Programming!

Ah, the eternal paradox of our profession. In theory, you've memorized every design pattern and algorithm known to mankind. In practice, you're randomly changing semicolons to see if that fixes the bug. And somehow when you combine both approaches, you end up with code that's simultaneously broken and functional – a quantum superposition of "it works on my machine" and "don't touch it or everything explodes." Just another Tuesday in the salt mines of logic.
