When The New Dev Hasn't Met Reality Yet

The fresh-faced programmer, high on caffeine and optimism, wonders why features take so long. Meanwhile, the battle-scarred veterans watch in silence, knowing the eldritch horrors that await—legacy code, unexpected dependencies, and the inevitable "just one small change" from marketing. The manager stands between them, blissfully unaware they're about to lead everyone into the technical debt abyss. That new dev will learn soon enough that in software, time estimates are just elaborate fiction.

Senior Engineer: Expectations vs. Reality

Remember that glorious day you got promoted to Senior Engineer? Your brain filled with visions of complex architecture designs, mentoring juniors, and making critical technical decisions. Then reality hit like a null pointer exception. Turns out "Senior" is just corporate code for "Professional Meeting Attendee." Your calendar transformed from blocks of focused coding time to an endless parade of standups, planning sessions, retrospectives, and those special meetings that could've been emails.
