If You Are Given Option To Avoid Debugging

OH. MY. GOD. The absolute CHAOS of putting os.system("sudo poweroff") in a try block just to prove a pedantic point about finally blocks! 💀 You're literally SHUTTING DOWN THE ENTIRE COMPUTER to win a technical argument with your professor! The finally block will NEVER execute because you've murdered the entire operating system mid-execution! That's not debugging—that's a declaration of WAR against both common sense and electricity bills!

Behold, the modern tech tragedy in three acts: Act I: "I'll let GPT-5 refactor our entire codebase!" Act II: *50+ files changed, 10k+ lines updated, beautiful modular code with best practices* Act III: "None of it works." The perfect illustration of AI's current relationship with coding: makes everything look incredible while secretly plotting your application's demise. That beautiful, clean code is like a gorgeous sports car with no engine—pretty to look at but utterly useless for actually getting anywhere. The punchline "But boy it was beautiful to watch" is the developer equivalent of "The surgery was successful, but the patient died." At least we'll have nicely formatted code to stare at while the production server burns!

The perfect metaphor for "vibe coding" doesn't exi— For the uninitiated, "vibe coding" is when your code works but you have absolutely no idea why. Just like the protagonist in Bedazzled who gets his wishes granted with catastrophic unintended consequences, your code technically does what you asked... but at what cost? That look of existential dread on his face is the same one you make at 3AM when your hacky solution works in production and now you're terrified to ever touch it again. The snake? That's the technical debt coiling around your neck.

OH. MY. GOD. The AUDACITY of me thinking I could actually finish a project before getting absolutely DESTROYED by OAuth setup! 💀 There I am, boxing gloves on, ready to conquer the world with my BRILLIANT new app idea, strutting around like I'm the next tech billionaire... and then BAM! OAuth shows up and knocks me right off my high horse into the pit of configuration despair. Just sitting there, sipping water, utterly defeated by client IDs, secret keys, and redirect URIs that refuse to cooperate. The dream dies not with a bang but with a whimper of "invalid_grant_error" for the 47th time. And they say programming is fun! THE BETRAYAL!

Ah, the classic CS major paradox! You casually mention your degree and suddenly everyone thinks you're some tech deity who can resurrect their 15-year-old laptop with a single touch. Meanwhile, the truth is you're just another mortal who spends hours debugging a missing semicolon and occasionally whispers sweet nothings to your compiler hoping it'll cooperate. The only thing you're "jacked into" is your fifth cup of coffee while Stack Overflow judges your existence. This is why we can't have nice conversations at family gatherings.

Trying to debug a distributed system with a linear mindset is like trying to solve a Rubik's cube while blindfolded, underwater, and being chased by sharks. The sheer audacity of thinking race conditions, eventual consistency, and network partitions will behave in a nice orderly fashion is the kind of optimism usually reserved for people who think they can fix printers. When your brain is still stuck in the "this happens, then that happens" paradigm, you're basically bringing a spoon to a gunfight. Meanwhile, your distributed system is laughing at you in parallel processing.
