You're in a Python codebase, deadline's tomorrow, and you desperately need some obscure algorithm. So you hit up Quora, find some answer with 2.3k upvotes, and there it is—a beautiful C++ function with pointers, templates, and memory management that would make Bjarne Stroustrup weep. You copy-paste it into your Python file because panic coding doesn't leave room for trivial concerns like "syntax compatibility" or "will this even run." Now you're standing there with code that's half snake, half dragon, fully cursed. Your linter is having a meltdown, your IDE is showing more red squiggles than a kindergarten art project, and your teammates are staring at you like you just showed up to standup in full Spartan armor. Because that's essentially what happened. Pro tip: Quora is where good answers go to get buried under 47 "I'm not an expert but..." responses. Stack Overflow would've at least roasted you in the comments before giving you the Python version.
