Not Too Wrong

The bell curve of code readability across developer experience levels is too real! Junior devs write simple, readable code because they're still learning fundamentals. Senior devs write elegant, maintainable code because they've been burned enough times by complexity. But those mid-level devs? They've discovered just enough functional programming and regex to turn everything into incomprehensible one-liners that fit in a tweet but take 3 hours to debug. It's that dangerous middle zone where you know enough to be clever but not enough to realize why you shouldn't be.

The eternal love story of our industry: she codes with fancy IDEs and libraries, he's still writing algorithms on napkins like it's a 1980s movie montage. Nothing says "I'm a real programmer" quite like handwriting a recursive function while your date wonders why you're scribbling math during coffee. The handwritten code even has that classic unnecessary increment counter that screams "I learned this from a textbook older than my career." Modern tools vs. academic purity - a romance doomed from the first semicolon.

The evolution of developer excitement is directly proportional to app bloat. Swift? Meh. PyQt? Getting interesting. Electron at 300MB? Now we're talking! Electron at 700MB? Mind-blown! But that 7MB installer that downloads a 700MB Electron app? Pure ecstasy. Remember when we used to optimize for performance? Now we're just wrapping web browsers in desktop shells and calling it innovation. The best part is watching product managers celebrate "small installer size" while conveniently forgetting about the bandwidth-crushing download that follows. Peak software engineering of our time.
