RTFM: The Forbidden Technique

The eternal developer struggle: spending four hours trying to force a flip-flop through a sock when you could've just spent five minutes reading the manual. The documentation is right there, beckoning with its sweet knowledge, but no—we'd rather perform sock contortionism while muttering "this should work" for the 47th time. And then have the audacity to complain that the library is "poorly designed" when our sock-sandal monstrosity inevitably fails. The real tragedy? We'll do it again tomorrow.

Expectation: Writing elegant code with perfect structure and original logic. Reality: WHEEEZE *frantically searching through 2000 lines of code at 3am* "I FORGOR SEMICOLON" And then there's that one missing semicolon that keeps you awake for 4 days straight while your non-programmer friends think you're being dramatic.
