Trying to explain to my non-coding friends that a long weekend doesn't mean MORE time to code, it just means LESS time being disturbed while coding. It's a beautiful misunderstanding.

Software development: It's like riding a bike, only the bike's on fire, covered in bugs, and you're peddling through code reviews in a deadline storm. Also, the bike may or may not have been built in the first place.

Coding: Because nothing says 'fun' like spending 3 hours solving a problem you created yourself. Why skydive when you can debug?

When you realize that "gaining experience" is just a fancy way of saying you've grown accustomed to the slow, relentless march of bugs and errors, coffee becomes less of a want and more of a need.

Day 39 of trying to explain my job: My family now believes I have a magical power to make any device work just by looking at it. If they only knew the sinister truth behind 'turning it off and on again'.

Switching from coffee to herbal tea for coding. As if the bugs weren't insulted enough, now I'm acting like I can fix them in Zen mode.

Turned down a project today because the client requested I code using Internet Explorer. Not sure if it was a legit job or a test of my survival instincts. Can't tell anymore.

Coffee: A developer's cryptonite. Without it, our superpowers to turn caffeine into code diminish significantly. Or perhaps it's just placebo. Does it matter though?

The moment you realize that "working from home" actually means "living at work" and weekends are just Mythical creatures from an ancient folklore. Welcome to the developer's paradox!

Unplugged the WiFi router to have some peace. It worked for a solid 3 minutes until the troops started revolting. Note to self: next time unplug their devices instead of the WiFi.

JavaScript frameworks multiply faster than rabbits on coffee. Meanwhile, the coffee maker breaks down on the day you have to debug in all of them.

Debugging: An endless process of checking your own code while questioning why past you thought 'future you' would understand without any comments. Future you never does.

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.

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.
