You’ve written code that worked yesterday but doesn’t work today, without touching it.
You’ve used map, filter, and reduce, all in the same line, just to feel powerful.
You’ve spent 15 minutes wondering why something isn’t working, only to find a missing }.
You’ve installed a package just to use one line of code.
You’ve said “just one more npm install” and broken your entire project.
You’ve fought with CORS and lost.
You’ve googled “How to center a div”, and you’ll do it again.

You’ve updated your npm packages and suddenly have 42 vulnerabilities.
You’ve used ChatGPT to explain why your component won’t render.
You’ve copied an error message, pasted it in Google, and found an unanswered StackOverflow question from 2014.
