Sacrificed a potential relationship to explain the entry point of every Java program. That tear isn't from rejection—it's from realizing you spent an hour explaining method signatures instead of making actual conversation. Sure, she now understands the sacred incantation needed to appease the JVM gods, but at what cost? Your dating life? Worth it though.

Whoever made this nailed the personality types of programming languages perfectly. Python: friendly, approachable, might look a bit weird but gets the job done with a smile.
