Someone literally wrote 15 lines of JavaScript to make a page fade out. You know what else makes a page disappear? Closing the tab. Takes zero lines of code. But no, we need to set the page opacity to 30%, create a spinner element with inline styles that would make any CSS developer weep, position it dead center with transforms (because apparently flexbox is too mainstream), add a linear infinite rotation animation with hardcoded pixel dimensions, append it to the body, wait 750ms, then fade everything out and remove the spinner. All of this to simulate "loading" when the function literally does nothing except waste three-quarters of a second of the user's life. Modern web development is just adding spinners to make users think something important is happening. Spoiler: it's not. The best part? The setTimeout callback has an empty action() function. Chef's kiss. Peak web engineering right there.

When you realize that actual spiders are the only creatures on the planet who get excited to find bugs in their web... while the rest of us frontend devs are having existential crises over that one pixel misalignment in Safari. The irony is painful. Nature's web developers have their priorities straight—they literally HUNT for bugs while we hide from them. Next sprint planning I'm just going to say "Sorry, can't fix that bug, I'm not biologically programmed like a spider."

Rust's borrow checker is like that strict parent who treats their kids differently. If you're coming from C/C++ where you could casually throw pointers around like confetti, the borrow checker gently pats your head: "Oh dear, gorgeous, let me help you avoid those memory leaks." But dare you come from Python or JavaScript thinking you can just assign variables willy-nilly? "YOU DONKEY! WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE TRYING TO USE THIS VARIABLE TWICE?!" Nothing humbles a high-level programmer faster than Rust screaming about ownership while your code refuses to compile for the 47th time.
