And you head out for the lunch break

Remember when we actually knew how to code? Now we're just crawling helplessly on the floor when our IDE's autocomplete doesn't finish our sentences. "Oh no, I have to remember how to close my own brackets now!" The modern developer's equivalent of losing their glasses – suddenly blind to syntax errors and unable to remember if it's forEach or map without the friendly red squiggles to guide them.

The classic "it works but I have no idea why" scenario. Your code's like that bird—technically flying, but in the most chaotic, physics-defying way possible.

Document it as "proprietary algorithm" and never speak of it again. The right side is what happens when you try to "clean up" that spaghetti code that was somehow working.
