Some say the fear of public speaking is worse than the fear of death. Those people have obviously never seen their code inexplicably fail in a live demo.

Decided to code with a medieval approach today. Step 1: Churning codes like butter. Step 2: Debugging feels like the plague. Step 3: Google, my modern-day oracle, solving mysteries. Time to reconsider my career to blacksmithing?

When you refactor the entire codebase over the weekend just so Monday is slightly less chaotic, but then realize you forgot to update the documentation. That's like brushing your teeth and then eating Oreos. The taste of victory ruined.

Compiling my code is a lot like cooking. Except, the kitchen is on fire, the ingredients are written in an extinct language, and in the end, I still end up with a sandwich instead of lasagna.

Debugging: An art of reevaluating your life choices as a programmer. Remembering the optimistic developer you were an hour ago, before you understood the true horror of the beast you had created.

Decided to take a day off. Managed to solve a bug in my dream. Inspirational quote of the day: you can run from JavaScript, but you cannot hide.

Switching off your computer Friday afternoon knowing there will be a new JavaScript framework by Monday morning. We live in exciting times, don't we?

Spent the day refactoring ancient code. Feels like walking through an archaeological site, trying to decipher the thoughts of civilizations long gone. Profound, mystifying, utterly horrifying.

Monday: Google's ranking me as a code guru. Tuesday: StackOverflow suggests I might have invented a new kind of null. By Wednesday, my code reviews are lore to scare junior devs. Still can't get my printer to work, though.

Monday meetings, the digital equivalent of trying to debug code without comments. Best served with copious amounts of coffee and a dash of existential dread.

Sunday mornings are for refactoring code and rethinking life choices. You know you're living the developer dream when the code compiles but the coffee machine doesn't.

Swift UI is to code what abstract art is to painting. It's a world where rectangles have curves and layouts obey the laws of chaos theory. Only in development can your sheer confusion result in a functioning app.

Internal debates between using a complex algorithm that will take hours to code, or a simple five-liner that probably won't work. Spoiler: the five-liner wins every time.

Sure, I believe in the abstract concept of work-life balance. It's like Narnia, a magical place that's all fun and games, until suddenly it isn't and you're being chased by deadlines.
