Confessions of a Developer

We developers like to act like we've got everything under control.
But the truth? We're a walking collection of bugs and coping mechanisms.
Here are my 10 real confessions:

1. Confession #1: I've Googled "How to center a div" more times than I've Googled my own name.
2. Confession #2: I drink coffee for "focus"… but really, it's just part of the aesthetic.
3. Confession #3: I've broken production more than once and blamed it on "the API". (Sorry, API.)
4. Confession #4: I once spent six hours debugging a bug that didn't exist because I forgot to save the file.
5. Confession #5: Sometimes I write // TODO just to feel organized. Do I come back? Nope.
6. Confession #6: I've used console.log as a debugging tool in a million-dollar codebase—and I'd do it again.
7. Confession #7: I've deployed without testing because "it should work". It didn't.
8. Confession #8: I once fixed a bug by accident… and pushed it like I knew what I was doing.
9. Confession #9: I still copy-paste from Stack Overflow like it's a sacred ritual.
10. Confession #10: Sometimes I rename variables from x to data and call it "refactoring".

If you're a developer and you didn't relate to at least three of these… you're lying.
