Cat Debugs For Life

Someone's job security strategy is absolutely chef's kiss . Instead of writing clean, maintainable code, they've created a function that always returns 2, labeled it as "job security," and then made two helper functions that literally copy memory addresses to change the return value. Nothing says "I'll never be fired" like writing code that only you understand and using memcpy() to overwrite function implementations instead of, you know, just changing the original function. Because why write one line of code when you can write twenty that require a hazmat suit to maintain? Bonus points for the "NEVER call this function" comments that scream "I'm the only one who knows which landmines not to step on." Pure evil genius at work here.

Content GOD, WHY IS QUANTUM MECHANICS SO WEIRD? IN ORDER TO MAKE A RAINBOW, YOU HAVE TO 'BREAK" LIGHT INTO WAVELENGTHS WHEN IT ENCOUNTERS A NEW MEDIUM. AFTER THE FLOOD I WANTED TO MAKE A RAINBOW FOR HIM IT'S NOAH'S FAULT. WELL, IT TURNS OUT THAT IF YOU WANT THAT YOU HAVE TO TWIDDLE WITH A BUNCH OF ASPECTS OF THE UNIVERSE, ADDING WEIRD STUFF LIKE PHOTON SUPERPOSITION AND PROBABILITY AMPLITUDES. BUT, EVERY TIME I FIXED ONE THING, SOMETHING ELSE SEEMED TO BREAK. SO. I KEPT CHANGING THINGS AND CHANGING THINGS AND THE SYSTEM GOT MORE AND MORE HACKY AS TIME WENT ON. FINALLY, IT GOT SO THAT EXPLAINS ALL FUNDAMENTALLY UGLY, OF PHYSICS AND I ADDED UNCERTAINTY WHAT VOU SAID TO SO NOBODY COULDI NOAH AFTER THE LOOK TOO CLOSE FLOOD.

Content Side Note: Other Programming Languages "Hold on," you might say, "other programming languages don't require me to think about lifetimes. Why does Rust make it so complicated?" The C programming language will happily let you access memory that has been freed, leading to undefined behavior. It will watch in silence as you walk off the edge of a cliff. Dangling pointers are a common source of bugs, and this is what lifetimes in Rust aim to prevent. The Rust compiler makes you stop and think about the ambiguity in your code and forces you to make relationships between data explicit.
