By the time you reach the end, you've forgotten what the original condition even was! This is why senior devs wake up in cold sweats screaming "REFACTOR!" and why code reviewers contemplate career changes. The real horror isn't the monster under your bed—it's the 17 nested if statements waiting for you in Monday's code review.
