When your OS professor explains process forking and you finally get it. That moment when you realize a parent process creates an exact copy of itself, and suddenly all those cryptic fork() calls make sense. The child process is literally a duplicate - same code, same memory space (initially), just a different PID. Eight years of coding and I still chuckle when someone says "fork a child process" with a straight face. The POSIX humor we never asked for but secretly enjoy.
