When Anyone Questions What I Do At Work All Day

Ah, the classic developer defense mechanism. When family asks what you actually do all day, it's easier to wave a hand mysteriously than explain why you spent four hours debugging a missing semicolon. The truth is we're just frantically Googling error messages and praying Stack Overflow stays online.

Eight years in frontend development and I've learned one truth: no matter how intuitive you think your design is, users will find a way to use it wrong.

I Guess We're Slaves Now

That moment when your printer reveals the true nature of our relationship with technology. In networking, "master/slave" is just technical terminology for primary and secondary devices, but walking by and seeing your printer proudly declaring "MODE: SLAVE" hits different after 15 years in tech.
