Denial "This should work." You run it again. Same result. You run it one more time anyway.

Anger "Wait, why is this happening?" It was working before. You're sure it was working before.

Bargaining "Okay, let me just check something…"

console.log("here")  
console.log("still here")  
console.log("why not here")

You keep adding logs as they'll eventually confess.

Confusion "This doesn't make sense." You read the error again. And again. It's just not clicking.

Depression "Maybe I just don't get this." You sit there for a bit. Not coding. Just… existing.

Delusion "Could this be something deeper?" Now you're thinking it's async. Or caching. Or something very advanced.

Acceptance "…oh wait." You spot it. A typo. One small thing.

Ego Recovery "That's what I thought." You fix it quickly and move on, like this was always the plan.

Closure (temporary) Everything works again. You feel calm. Capable. In control.

For now.
