The iceberg metaphor hits different when you've been in the trenches for a few years. That tiny tip above the waterline? That's your polished demo, your clean commits, your "yeah I fixed that bug in 5 minutes" flex at standup.
The massive underwater chunk? That's the 47 Stack Overflow tabs, the 3 AM debugging sessions, the refactoring you did because past-you was an idiot, the meetings about meetings, the dependency hell, the "works on my machine" investigations, and that one regex you copied without understanding but are too afraid to touch now.
Your manager sees the tip. Your therapist hears about the rest.
