Uff, I’m finally done with my talk at jsDay 2026!
And honestly? It went at least good. People showed up, they asked questions… what more could you...

Hey checklist time for me lol
To be fair, I am still new in the DEV world, so it makes sense. You could also add that if you are a developer:
Thanks! Great post :D
Hahaha Francis, you’re 100% a software developer 😄
And that 5-hour debugging session? I felt that 😄
(although honestly… sometimes 5 hours is still optimistic, especially with 7-year-old code 😂)
I had worst. One time I try fixing a bug for 12 hours straight and it only took me a good night sleep to the next day where it was 3 lines of code 💀
5 hours is too generous if you get lucky lol
😄
One time I deployed a change which not only took down our site, but directly caused Heroku to go into a "yellow" state on their status page. Not only was our site down, they suspended our account in the process.
This was, I swear, a matter of incompetence, not malice.
This is an absolutely epic bug 💥❤️
Also, please take a moment to appreciate the incredibly dumb hashtag I added with a typo: #devlive 😂
At least no one can accuse me of having the whole post generated by an LLM now 😄
How do they even know to begin with other than GPTzero?
Hahaha yeah, I guess that’s the only “method” people have 😄
To be fair, I do use an LLM to fix my English typos (and sometimes I even write in Polish first and let it translate 😄 But then you really have to watch it so it doesn’t oversimplify everything).
But in Polish I actually write really well. And at some point I even tested it, pasted my own text into GPTZero… and it confidently said it was 90% AI-generated 😂
During one “quick 1-point ticket” you thought: “I’ll just tweak this CSS real quick” and somehow ended up deep in a 6-hour rabbit hole fighting specificity, flexbox, and your will to live.
and congrats on the talk!
Thanks!!! 🥰
TOTALLY 😄
Are you… by any chance me? 😂
Haha I feel a lot of folks can relate to this one, a painful and humbling experience
Perfect list 😄
my addition:
You’ve spent hours debugging only to realize the issue lives in a system you don’t even own
…and now you need three teams, two vendors, and a weekly sync to fix it.
No way, another person who is basically me!!! 😄😄
Oh yesss, I know this type of bug way too well 😂
Been in too many production war trenches, these all hit too close to home bahahaha
Attempt → Failure → Frustration (Pressure Drop ⬇️) → Reflection → Fix → Success → Triumph (Pressure Stabilization ⬆️) → Then... "Wait, why don't I make it even better?" → New Attempt 🔄
It's a delicious vicious cycle.
May you remain creative, outstanding, and blessed with ever more success.
This is painfully accurate 😂
“It works on my machine” and random bug fixes are basically rites of passage at this point.
