You know that feeling when you discover some bleeding-edge framework on GitHub with 47 stars, zero documentation, and a README that just says "WIP"? And suddenly React feels like ancient technology from the Paleolithic era? Yeah, your manager just crushed that dream faster than a null pointer exception. The painful irony here is that the shiny new framework probably has terrible docs and a community consisting of three people arguing in GitHub issues, while React has literally millions of developers, Stack Overflow answers for every conceivable problem, and more npm packages than there are atoms in the universe. But nope, your brain sees "new" and goes full dopamine rush mode. That sad otter perfectly captures the internal screaming of every developer who's been forced to be... reasonable . Deep down you know your manager is right, but it still hurts to stay with the boring, stable, well-documented choice when there's experimental tech to break prod with.

The eternal struggle of naming Git commits... One minute you're coding like a genius, the next you're staring at the terminal like it's the Da Vinci Code. Your brain suddenly forgets all vocabulary except "fix stuff" and "update things." And let's be honest, half our commit history reads like desperate prayers: "please_work_now," "final_fix_i_swear," "kill_me." The beautiful irony is we spend hours crafting elegant code but can't be bothered to document what the hell we actually changed. Future you will definitely understand what "asdfghjkl" meant six months from now!
