Content DEVELOPERS IN 2021 Learning Algorithms and Data Structures Learning Latest Technologies

Ah, the classic tale of software development dysfunction! The requirements doc and production code staring at each other like total strangers at a party, despite supposedly being intimately related. One says "No" while the other confidently declares "Yes" - a perfect representation of that moment when stakeholders ask if what was built matches what was requested. The requirements doc is in complete denial while the code is living in its own fantasy world. It's not a bug, it's an undocumented feature! Or more accurately, it's a documented feature that nobody bothered to implement correctly. The eternal disconnect between theory and practice, much like my relationship with my gym membership.

Just like vampires hiss at sunlight and Superman cowers from kryptonite, programmers have developed an evolutionary defense mechanism against documentation. "Why waste time writing docs when the code is right there?" we say, while secretly knowing our variable named temp_var_final_v2_ACTUAL tells absolutely no story whatsoever. Future maintainers will just have to develop telepathy or join the growing support group of developers who cry in server rooms.

Oh. My. GOD. The absolute TRAGEDY of night coding! You're there at 4AM, fueled by caffeine and desperation, creating what you SWEAR is a magnificent dragon of code—elegant, powerful, absolutely revolutionary! Then the morning sun rises, your brain cells regenerate, and you return to find... a plastic toy castle with a lizard on it. THE HORROR! Your masterpiece is just garbage with syntax! The cognitive dissonance between "night programmer you" and "morning programmer you" is the greatest betrayal since they canceled Firefly. And yet we KEEP DOING IT, because apparently we haven't suffered enough! 💀

Content The 5 Stages of Debugging At some point in each of our lives, we must face errors in our code. Debugging is a natural healing process to help us through these times. It is important to recognize these common stages and realize that debugging will eventually come to an end. Denial This stage is often characterized by such phrases as "What? That's impossible," or "I know this is right." A strong sign of denial is recompiling without changing any code, "just in case.' BargainingSelf-Blame Several programming errors are uncovered and the programmer feels stupid and guilty for having made them. Bargaining is common: "If I fix this, will you please compile?" Also, "I only have 14 errors to go!" HOSt Anger Cryptic error messages send the programmer into a rage. This stage is accompanied by an hours-long and profanity-filled diatribe about the limitations of the language directed at whomever will listen. Depression Following the outburst, the programmer becomes aware that hours have gone by unproductively and there is still no solution in sight. The programmer becomes listless. Posture often deteriorates. Accentance The programmer finally accepts the situation, declares the bug a "feature", and goes to play some Quake.
