Nothing quite like the rush of typing mkdir -p /some/complex/path while someone watches over your shoulder. They think you're hacking the Pentagon, but you're just creating a directory. The terminal is our lightsaber – elegant, powerful, and completely mystifying to the uninitiated. Sure, money buys yachts and status gets you into fancy parties, but making a non-programmer's jaw drop by using basic bash commands? Priceless. And we don't even have the heart to tell them it's the digital equivalent of using a hammer.

The judge has spoken, and the verdict is brutal. Imagine being a developer who's spent years in the blissful world of Linux or macOS, crafting code in peaceful terminals with package managers that actually work... only to be sentenced to the special hell that is Windows development. One week of fighting with PATH variables, dealing with backslashes in file paths, and watching that spinning circle of doom while your IDE crashes for the fifth time today. Not to mention the sheer joy of Windows Defender quarantining your executables because they look "suspicious." For hardened criminals they have solitary confinement. For developers, they have Windows.
