You know that moment when you're in a technical interview and confidently start explaining your dynamic programming solution, only to realize mid-sentence that it's actually a graph traversal problem in disguise? Meanwhile, your interviewer is sitting there like a very patient shiba inu, having just speed-run LeetCode's "Top 10 Graph Nightmares" article 5 minutes before your interview started. The beautiful irony here is that both of you are completely winging it. You're having an existential crisis realizing your memoization table is useless when you need to track visited nodes. They're silently praying you don't ask for hints because their entire knowledge comes from skimming a blog post while you were introducing yourself. It's like two people playing chess where one doesn't know the rules and the other just learned them from a YouTube short. The real hardest problem? Figuring out who's more terrified in this scenario.
