Unused variable Memes

When your IDE screams about that unused variable but you've been coding for 12 hours straight and you're feeling philosophical. Sure, the linter's having a meltdown, but maybe that variable deserves to exist just for the vibes? Maybe it'll be useful in the future? Maybe you're too tired to refactor right now? Spoiler alert: it won't be useful, and future-you will curse present-you for leaving that dead code lying around like a forgotten TODO comment from 2019. But right now? Right now we're keeping it. Clean code can wait until after coffee.

Your IDE is like that overeager ensign who reports problems before you've even had a chance to finish typing. Create a variable, look away for half a second, and suddenly your editor's throwing red squiggly lines everywhere like there's a warp core breach. Listen, computer—I'm giving her all she's got. Some of us need more than 3 milliseconds between declaration and implementation.
