This "algorithm" starts with the initial excitement of learning front-end technologies, followed by the dawning realization of the complexity of back-end systems. Along the way, our developer faces the inevitable rite of passage: a bug that makes absolutely no sense, leading to countless searches on StackOverflow. In the end, wisdom and a slight caffeine addiction are gained, marking the true signs of a seasoned full-stack developer.

May this pseudo-algorithm inspire you to navigate the highs and lows of development with a smile (and maybe a coffee in hand).
