Java Telling Me My Var Isn't Used Anywhere

Java's compiler is that helicopter parent who interrupts your dinner to remind you about chores you haven't even had a chance to start yet. You're literally mid-keystroke when it starts screaming about unused variables like you've committed some cardinal sin against computer science. Look, I'm aware the variable isn't used yet—I'm still writing the damn function! Give a dev five seconds to finish their thought before throwing a tantrum. It's like being judged for buying ingredients before you've had time to cook the meal.
