The Missing Semicolon Chronicles

C++ developers watching Rust evangelists talk about memory safety is the programming equivalent of a wolf staring down a chihuahua. Sure, the chihuahua is making valid points about not eating the neighbors, but the wolf's been managing just fine with raw power and sharp teeth for decades, thank you very much. After 35 years of manual memory management, we've seen some things. And yeah, maybe we've caused a few segfaults that took down production servers at 2AM, but that's just character building.

The eternal developer paradox in its natural habitat! You start with noble intentions to finish that side project you've been working on for 6 months (or let's be real, 2 years). But then your brain spots a slightly misaligned variable name or a function that could be 2 lines shorter, and suddenly you're knee-deep in a full codebase refactoring session at 3 AM. That "ugly" class becomes a personal vendetta, and before you know it, your simple weather app has become a three-week architecture overhaul while the actual features remain untouched. The dopamine hit from making that code "beautiful" is just too powerful to resist—who needs project completion when you can have perfectly aligned brackets?

Finally, someone said it! Andrew Ng, the AI guru who could've just kept raking in the Silicon Valley cash, decided to drop some truth bombs. "Vibe coding" sounds like you're sipping kombucha while casually typing console.log("feeling cute today") when in reality you're having your third existential crisis before lunch because your Docker container won't stop committing suicide. Nothing says "vibe" quite like staring at a stack trace at 3 AM while questioning your career choices. Maybe we should rename it "despair engineering" or "caffeine-fueled panic typing" instead?

Ah, the classic "fat controller" pattern! This code is the software architecture equivalent of saying "diet starts tomorrow" while ordering a triple cheeseburger. The controller is doing everything - handling requests, validating inputs, executing raw SQL queries, and formatting responses. It's like watching someone use a Swiss Army knife to build an entire house. The MVC pattern (Model-View-Controller) was specifically created to prevent this spaghetti nightmare, but some developers just can't resist putting all their business logic, database access, and error handling in one massive controller method. This is how tech debt babies are born!
