Why do programmers drink so much coffee?

People joke that developers run on caffeine and anxiety. After four hours of hunting down a single bug... ...it's hard to argue. The funny part isn't the coffee. It's finding out the entire system crashed because of one missing semicolon. Technology isn't hard because it's complex. It's hard because the smallest overlooked detail can bring down the whole structure. Humans carry that same pressure. We stress over tiny details, afraid one minor slip will ruin everything. Take a breath. Most mistakes aren't fatal—they're just missing semicolons waiting to be found.
