Spilled Coffee, Broken Code, and Enlightenment

It started with a cup of coffee. A perfectly innocent, steaming hot vessel of liquid sanity — until I knocked it straight into the keyboard like an untrained gorilla with a caffeine addiction.

Sparks didn’t fly (this time), but panic sure did. The code window blinked. My terminal screamed. I whispered to the gods of Git to save me.

But then… clarity.

In the chaos of hot bean juice and half-compiled thoughts, I saw truth: Sometimes systems break because you need to rebuild YOU.

• Backup plans are useless if you don’t back up your brain.
• Coffee stains fade. But that one bug you ignored since 2021? It's immortal.
• Every crash is a message. Usually in hex.

I wiped the desk, rebooted the machine, and rebooted my soul.

So here’s to spilled coffee, broken code, and that sweet moment of enlightenment that slaps you in the face when you least expect it.
