Finally Finding Your Stupidity After Hours Of Debugging
That GLORIOUS moment when you realize the bug that's been haunting your existence for SEVEN STRAIGHT HOURS was just a missing semicolon! Your bloodshot eyes, your trembling hands, your deteriorating sanity—all because you couldn't be bothered to type ONE. TINY. CHARACTER. The absolute AUDACITY of your brain to overlook something so microscopic while you rewrote entire functions and questioned your career choices! And the worst part? The sheer ECSTASY you feel when you find it, like you've solved the mysteries of the universe, when really you've just proven you're exactly the disaster everyone suspected!

Exception handling is meant for exceptional circumstances, not as your primary API. The stack traces alone would make any performance profiler weep. Imagine the logs: "ERROR: Everything's actually fine, we just needed to send some JSON to the payment service." This is the programming equivalent of using a sledgehammer to insert a thumbtack.
