These past months have been on fire.

You had an amazing idea, a new project, a new side hustle. It is now a usable prototype.

You manage to get some users to test it out. You look for some comments, some feedback.

You realize that you have created something new: a tool that people actually like. Thanks to its simplicity, it helps some people solve a recurring problem they have in their lives.

You get to chat with some users and find out that your tool has become a little piece of their daily life, improving it.

Welcome to the heart-warming side of our lives.

You have just spent 3 hours of your life staring at seamlessly perfect code.

Just, it works in a random fashion. Try once, it works. Try again, blank screen. Then again, it works. You are shitting me.

You want to cry. The coffee has worn off one hour ago, you feel that your body wants you to eat something, you tremble a bit, but you cannot let go of such a stupid issue.

Those poor eyes of yours are burning.

Read again, you fool. Scan, line by line, character by character, dot by d.. now you are kidding me. I forgot to wait for this asynchronous call...

It works, it works, it works!!!

You are now exhausted. You want to collapse. Happy inside, but boy has this day drained you.

Welcome to the dark side of our lives.
