The Final Debugging Solution

Started the day jamming to music while writing code that "totally works" – ended it staring at this electrical nightmare wondering which wire broke your production server. That poor technician is basically all of us at 4:30pm on a Friday when someone reports a "small bug" in the feature you pushed this morning. The only difference is his tangled mess is visible to everyone, while yours is safely hidden in a Git repository where only your therapist and future you will judge it.

The universal debugging strategy: code breaks, add a comment that changes absolutely nothing, suddenly works. That moment of existential dread when you realize you're not actually in control of your own code. The compiler is just letting you think you are. Quantum debugging - where observing the problem fixes it, but you'll never know why. Just back away slowly and don't make eye contact with the codebase.

OH. MY. GOD. The AUDACITY of GitHub Copilot! 😤 You're sitting there BEGGING this AI to write a simple function and it's like "hmm, I don't quite understand what you want" while you're SCREAMING at your screen! Just show me the freaking code I'm trying to write instead of making me describe it in 47 different ways! It's like trying to explain a recipe to someone who keeps asking "but what IS flour?" JUST WRITE THE DARN CODE ALREADY! I've spent more time trying to get Copilot to understand what I want than it would have taken to write the whole program myself! The digital equivalent of trying to give directions to someone who keeps turning down the radio because they "see with their ears." 💀
