Nobody Will Read This

There is a funny truth in software engineering: almost nobody reads the docs.

We spend hours writing careful comments in our code. We build personal websites. We write plain text files and push them to live servers. But if we check the stats, we know the truth. The audience is basically zero.

So why do we do it?

My day is full of loud noise. It is filled with heavy backend logic, endless tasks, and the crushing weight of non-stop engineering. The pressure is always on. The systems never sleep. It is exhausting.

There is a famous programmer joke that always gets me:

“What is DRY? Well, at the risk of repeating myself…”

It is funny, but it also hurts a little because it is so true. We all know the rule: Don’t Repeat Yourself (DRY). We learn it from day one. You write a piece of code once, put it in a clean function, and never type it again.

But let’s be honest. It is the middle of the night. You are staring at your screen, your eyes hurt from the light, and you just need the server to stop crashing. What really happens? You copy that block of code from another file. You paste it right where you need it. You change one variable, save the file, and quietly hope nobody looks too closely.
