Same word, two entirely different emotional states. Biology majors get excited studying fascinating creatures with exoskeletons and compound eyes. Meanwhile, CS majors stare into the abyss of undefined behavior with thousand-yard stares, wondering why their code that worked perfectly yesterday suddenly decided to implode today. The only thing evolving in our code is the bugs—they're getting smarter while we're losing sanity.

Oh. My. GOD. This is EXACTLY what happens when your manager says "just a simple unit test" but then you open the test requirements and it's basically asking you to reverse engineer the entire Matrix! 💀 That "3301" at the bottom? That's a reference to the infamous Cicada 3301 puzzles - literally one of the most complex internet mysteries EVER created that had cryptographers SOBBING into their mechanical keyboards. It's like expecting to debug a simple "Hello World" but getting handed an entire operating system written in Brainfuck instead! The sheer AUDACITY of calling this monstrosity "easy" is why developers have trust issues and caffeine addictions. I can't even!

The suspicious stare that says "I don't trust code that works on the first try." Ten years in the trenches teaches you that immediate success is the most terrifying outcome possible. No errors? No warnings? Something is definitely wrong. The universe doesn't just hand out compiler blessings like that without planning some catastrophic runtime surprise later. The real debugging starts after your code works perfectly. That's when you frantically add console logs everywhere because silent success is far more concerning than a stack trace that at least has the decency to tell you what you broke.
