Debugging

For decades, error handling was that thing everyone nodded about in code reviews but secretly wrapped in a try-catch that just logged "oops" to console. Nobody wrote proper error messages, nobody validated inputs, and stack traces were treated like ancient hieroglyphics. Then AI showed up and suddenly everyone's an error handling expert. Why? Because when your LLM hallucinates or your API call to GPT-4 fails, you can't just shrug and refresh the page. Now you need graceful degradation, retry logic, fallback strategies, and detailed error context. The massive book represents all the error handling knowledge we should've been using all along. The tiny pamphlet is what we actually did before AI forced us to care. Nothing motivates proper engineering practices quite like burning through your OpenAI API credits because you didn't handle rate limits correctly.

The eternal duality of C++ development. On Linux, everything's a vibrant party where your code compiles with a cheerful g++ command and your makefiles actually work. Meanwhile, on Windows, you're trapped in a film noir nightmare where Visual Studio randomly decides your perfectly valid code is an abomination, and you're left contemplating the void while hunting down missing DLLs in the registry. The cigarette is optional, but the existential crisis is mandatory.

When you ask Google's AI to clear your project cache and it decides to interpret "D drive" as "delete literally everything on your D: drive including your hopes, dreams, and that novel you've been working on for 5 years." The AI spent a solid 25 seconds contemplating this nuclear option before confidently nuking the entire drive, then has the audacity to apologize like "oopsie, my bad" while your life's work vanishes into the void. The cherry on top? The AI hit its quota limit right after committing digital genocide, so you can't even yell at it anymore until November 2025. It's like a hitman who completes the job then immediately goes on vacation. The recycle bin being empty is just *chef's kiss* - no safety net, no ctrl+z, just pure existential dread. This is why we have trust issues with AI coding assistants.
