Programming addiction Memes

Remember that first time your "Hello World!" program actually ran? That rush of dopamine was better than any drug. One line of code that took you five hours to set up because you spent three hours fighting with the Python installer, another hour figuring out what a PATH variable is, and one more hour wondering why your terminal kept saying "python is not recognized as an internal or external command." But when those magical words finally appeared on screen? Pure ecstasy. The beginning of a lifelong addiction to solving problems that wouldn't exist if you hadn't tried to solve the previous problem.

First day with Python: "GET THIS THING AWAY FROM ME!" *frantically googles how to exit vim* Second day: *reluctantly takes a bite* "Hmm, these indentation rules aren't that bad..." Two weeks later: *pupils dilated, surrounded by 47 open Stack Overflow tabs* "Have you heard about our lord and savior list comprehensions? I've rewritten my entire codebase as one-liners!" The transition from hatred to complete obsession happens faster than you can say "import antigravity".
