Nothing quite captures the duality of existence like watching someone gleefully torture themselves with C++ while your friend is out here fighting for their LIFE doing the exact same thing but for a paycheck. One person's "fun weekend project" is another person's soul-crushing descent into template metaprogramming hell and segmentation faults at 2 PM on a Tuesday.
Your friend stares into the void of memory management and pointer arithmetic because capitalism demands it, while you're over here giggling at compiler errors like they're inside jokes. The scenic route looks VERY different when you're contractually obligated to take it versus choosing it for the vibes. One gets to enjoy the beautiful landscape of low-level programming; the other is just trying to survive the commute without a core dump.
