Everyday

The classic developer-user relationship in its natural habitat. The programmer sits there in shock watching the user drink software straight from a cup like it's morning coffee. Meanwhile, the user has no idea why anything's wrong – they're just trying to use the product in ways no sane developer could have anticipated. After 15 years in this industry, I've learned that no matter how idiot-proof you make your interface, the universe just builds a better idiot. The real skill isn't writing code – it's predicting the creative ways users will break it.

That sweet, sweet vindication when you're falsely accused of breaking production with your commit. Nothing quite like the moment when evidence clears your name and the real culprit is found lurking in someone else's spaghetti code. Meanwhile, the entire dev team already sent you 37 passive-aggressive Slack messages.

Ah yes, the digital equivalent of finding ancient hieroglyphics. Nothing says "job security" like writing code so complex that even your future self will be baffled. That counter isn't tracking optimization attempts—it's tracking the collective existential crises of every developer who touched this monstrosity. The best part? Somewhere out there is a developer staring at this comment, incrementing the counter to 68, and wondering if therapy is covered by their health plan.
