100% and if it's a website I'll likely lose a few hours digging around to see how it's done.

Maybe I'm a bad programmer, or maybe I'm just busy and tired, but honestly I don't often care enough to investigate until I need to build something similar.

Yes, but for games (I'm a game programmer)

I don't know if its true, but I think this is a curse every kind of designer and developer has for their domain of work.

Yup. My background is computer science transitioned to IT Infra.

My sister sent me a screenshot of a Spotify one-liner error, white text on black background, captioned "they wrote a lazy error". I immediately recognized that the actual problem was the load balancer in the front end trying and failing to connect to the backend/middleware in the first error, then in the second it recognized a failed health check and reporting that no back ends were available. Root cause is probably networking issue or actual server crash.

I also have a bonus that in high school I had watched a ton of videos on VFX/SFX and knew a rough way around After Effects and compositing (before I jumped into CS I had considered this as a career path), so now when I watch TV and movies I can also see some of the "layers" they use to compile the on screen effect.

aaaand then I dream about it, and wake up at 3 am with an epiphany as to how it could be done. Too bad it never works for my own projects...
