That Is Why Programmers Get Paid

The eternal time warp of debugging. Left side: bright-eyed optimism at 9 AM with colorful IDE and hydration station ready. Right side: same developer, 14 hours later, staring into the void of Stack Overflow with what's probably their 17th cup of coffee somewhere off-screen. The "easy bug" has now consumed an entire day, three meals, and whatever remained of their sanity. Time is merely a social construct when you're hunting a missing semicolon.

When your wizard mentor admits he just copied spells from "Arcane Overflow" without understanding them, you've basically discovered modern programming. Nobody knows why that deprecated function is still in the codebase, but remove it and everything crashes. We're all just drawing magic circles from Stack Overflow, pretending we understand the arcane symbols, while secretly hoping nobody asks us to explain our code during the next sprint review.

When your code is so broken that even Stack Overflow can't help, just dump the entire codebase into an AI and pray. Because nothing says "professional developer" like outsourcing your debugging to a chatbot that will happily refactor your spaghetti code into slightly more organized spaghetti code. The modern equivalent of "have you tried turning it off and on again?" is now "have you tried asking an AI to fix it?" Next up: submitting your entire Git repo as a prompt.
