When OOP Meets IRL

Spent four hours debugging why your function returns undefined only to realize you never actually called it? Classic. This is the programming equivalent of yelling at your TV remote before noticing it has no batteries. The transformation from rage monster to sheepish realization is the universal developer journey. Ten years in the industry and I still do this at least once a sprint.

Content Six Stages of Debugging 1. That can't happen. 2. That doesn't happen on my machine. 3. That shouldn't happen. 4. Why does that happen? 5. On, I see. 6. How did that ever work?

The modern developer's dilemma: you're absolutely crushing it with ChatGPT, pair programming with AI like it's your senior dev buddy, refactoring code, generating unit tests, debugging that cursed recursive function... and then boom. Rate limit hit. The party's over at 12:30 PM. Those "thinking tokens" (the computational resources GPT uses for reasoning in models like o1) just ran out, and suddenly you're expected to... think for yourself? Write your own code? Like some kind of caveman? Time to pack it up and call it a day. The vibe coders know when to fold 'em – why struggle through the afternoon with your own brain when you can just go home and wait for the token counter to reset?

Kid doesn't even know about the token economy yet.
