I will confirm that the software works, but what is this person trying to do?

Remember that first time your "Hello World!" program actually ran? That rush of dopamine was better than any drug. One line of code that took you five hours to set up because you spent three hours fighting with the Python installer, another hour figuring out what a PATH variable is, and one more hour wondering why your terminal kept saying "python is not recognized as an internal or external command." But when those magical words finally appeared on screen? Pure ecstasy. The beginning of a lifelong addiction to solving problems that wouldn't exist if you hadn't tried to solve the previous problem.

Ah, the transformation that C++ brings to a programmer's soul. While other substances merely alter your appearance, C++ mutates your very being into something unrecognizable – half human, half deep-sea nightmare with bulging eyes and too many teeth. Ten years of memory management violations, pointer arithmetic, and template metaprogramming will do that to you. The rest just destroy your body, but C++ corrupts your mind until you start seeing everything as poorly encapsulated objects with questionable inheritance hierarchies. And yet we keep coming back for more. Masochists, the lot of us.

The bar for happiness in programming is so low it's practically a tripping hazard in hell. "Only crying 3 times" is apparently a win! That's not emotional damage—that's just Tuesday. The best part? We're all nodding along thinking "just 3 times? Must've been a productive day!" Meanwhile non-programmers wonder why we voluntarily subject ourselves to this psychological torture disguised as a profession. It's like Stockholm syndrome but with semicolons.
