Nothing quite like watching your nested for loops with i,j variables crush through 10,000 iterations without breaking a sweat. Those humble little variables carry the weight of algorithms that would make mere mortals collapse. Seven years into my career and I'm still naming my loop counters i,j,k like it's some sacred tradition passed down from the elders of computer science.

One second you're lounging like Skeletor, smugly declaring "Writing SQL in all caps is a choice, not a requirement" and the next you're RUNNING AWAY because you've unleashed pure CHAOS on the database team! The holy war of SQL formatting claims another victim! Those database purists will hunt you down with their perfectly indented queries and meticulously capitalized keywords until the end of time! The AUDACITY to suggest lowercase SQL! Might as well have said tabs are better than spaces or that semicolons are optional! Some developer sins can never be forgiven!
