## Why My "Bad Code" Taught Me More Than My Successes

3 min read

I spent 4 hours today fighting an infinite loop in React. I felt like an imposter. I felt like quitting.

But then I realized: debugging isn't the tax you pay for being a "bad" developer. It's the actual job.

Junior devs optimize for "writing code." Senior devs optimize for "understanding state." Today, thanks to a broken `useEffect`, I finally understood the React lifecycle.

It still hurts, but it's a "growing pain," not a "dying pain." 🚀
