Cat Debugs For Life

The compiler just performed the most spectacular magic trick in programming history. We've got a C++ program with an infinite while(1) loop and a function literally named unreachable() that should never execute. Yet somehow, when compiled with optimizations, it spits out "Hello world!" anyway. The compiler optimization flags ( -O1 ) basically said "this infinite loop is useless nonsense" and just... skipped it entirely. It's like your code review comments were taken literally by the universe. That moment when the compiler is smarter than your intentionally broken code is both humbling and hilarious.

Ah yes, the classic programmer evolution: from "this game is broken!" to "I understand why this game is broken and would probably make the same mistakes myself." Once you've spent hours debugging your own code only to find a missing semicolon, you develop this weird Stockholm syndrome with bugs. You don't complain anymore because you're too busy having flashbacks to your own coding nightmares. It's not forgiveness—it's trauma-based empathy.
