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.

When you're asked to make software that predicts the future, but can't even predict your weekend plans. The irony of life in code.

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.

Client: We need this complex feature up and running by tomorrow.
My brain: Well, at least we finally found a use for that 'instant noodles for a week' contingency plan.

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.

Told my boss I'd been refactoring code all day. Pretty sure both of us knew I was actually digging through Stack Overflow, but some truths are better left unsaid.

When you've hit a wall with your code and you take a break, only to realize that the real world has bugs too, without a Debug button. Back to the matrix I go.

Running code on the first try is like waking up without hitting snooze. Sounds great in theory, but never happens in practice. And when it does, it's more suspicious than satisfying.

Ah, the sweet irony of code review. When your entire work is shrugged off with a 'looks fine'. Either our standards have dropped or I'm getting better at this. Jury's still out.

Feeling adventurous today. Decided to add comments to my code. Now I understand why people say coding is like writing a book. But unlike books, nobody wants to read this one. Especially not future me.
