Stop personally attacking me with this content! My junior-dev days weren't about coding; they were about performing high-stakes, unscripted chaos directly into the codebase. I occasionally peer into the abyss of my old repositories and marvel at the sheer audacity of whoever gave me keyboard privileges. Can't wait for Episode 2 – I've already emotionally prepared for further self-incrimination.
hey i'm adam. i'm a software engineer who's way too into backend, distributed systems, and hunting down edge cases for fun. also i play piano by ear and math's kinda fun
If you've never spewed chaos and disaster into a codebase once, you were never a junior!
Episode 2 coming out soon, there's just so many more of these pre-AI, peak-stack overflow era disastrous junior code of mine that I had to do something about them.
you know, I still remember the senior who reviewed this piece of code, I still vividly remember the look on his face - the moment he saw this piece of code, he shook his head a few times after reading it, tested it and decided to merge it and if I'm not wrong, I could've heard: " I'm not being paid enough for this "
That senior doesn't just deserve a medal; they deserve a congressional medal of honor, or at the very least, a lifetime supply of stress balls and a generous therapy fund. The fact that they clicked 'merge' instead of initiating a full-scale repo evacuation and sending my entire commit history to the digital phantom zone shows a level of zen-like patience usually reserved for monks. My imposter syndrome, now fully charged and vibrating with renewed vigor, is absolutely ready for Episode 2.
