Survivor's Guilt Be Hitting Hard

You finally pull the trigger on a shiny new PC after nursing your ancient rig through 8 years of thermal throttling and prayer. Then literally a month later, two major RAM manufacturers collide in a cosmic catastrophe that sends memory prices into the stratosphere. Meanwhile, your new build sits there with its perfectly-timed DDR5 sticks, quietly humming while the rest of the tech world watches RAM prices skyrocket. It's like escaping a burning building and then watching everyone else get trapped inside. You're safe, your wallet is lighter but satisfied, yet you can't help but feel a weird mix of relief and guilt watching your fellow developers struggle to afford 16GB of what used to be reasonably priced memory. Timing is everything in life, and you accidentally nailed it.
