It's Worth It (For The Performance Gains)

It's Worth It (For The Performance Gains)
The eternal quest for micro-optimization strikes again! Some poor soul wrote an entire math library in Rust just to divide 60 by 9 from Python. That's like building a nuclear reactor to charge your phone. Sure, Rust is blazingly fast, but at what cost? Your sanity? Three months of your life? Meanwhile, Python would've just returned 6.666... before you finished typing "cargo new". The Shrek running meme perfectly captures that mix of pride and madness that comes with over-engineering a simple solution. We've all been there—spending hours optimizing code that runs once a month to save 0.02 seconds.

The Password Reset Nightmare

The Password Reset Nightmare
THE ABSOLUTE AUDACITY of password systems! First, they have the NERVE to tell you your password is wrong THREE TIMES IN A ROW. Then, when you're finally ready to throw your device into the nearest volcano, they force you to reset it. BUT WAIT! The final betrayal - "New password can't be old password." EXCUSE ME?! I literally just spent 20 minutes remembering that password, and now you're telling me I can't use it?! Shrek's face perfectly captures that moment of pure, unadulterated rage when the system basically says "I know exactly what your old password is, I just won't accept it." The digital equivalent of someone holding your keys above your head while you jump for them! 😤
