👨‍💻 Welcome to the Life of a Developer

Hey there! If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be a software developer, pull up a chair, grab some coffee, and brace yourself.


My Daily Routine

  1. 9:00 AM – Open laptop and stare at code for 5 minutes wondering if I'm alive.
  2. 9:05 AM – Realize I have no idea what I’m doing, Google everything.
  3. 11:00 AM – Solve a bug that shouldn’t have existed in the first place.
  4. 2:00 PM – Automate a task that takes 2 minutes, just to feel like a wizard.
  5. 4:00 PM – Remember I skipped lunch. Eat instant noodles.
  6. 6:00 PM – Code review: Cry silently while pretending to understand your teammate’s code.
  7. 2:00 AM – Push a fix to production. Panic internally. Celebrate externally. 🎉

Developer Truths

  • Debugging is like being a detective in a crime movie where you are also the murderer.
  • Stack Overflow is basically my second home.
  • Coffee: not a drink, a lifestyle.
  • Code Comments: If future-me can’t understand this, no one can.

Why I Love Development

Because at the end of the day, I build things that make life easier, solve problems, and occasionally cause chaos in production. And somehow, people pay me for it. 💸
