Ah, the classic C++ vs Python showdown. Your friend spent weeks crafting 1000 lines of pointer arithmetic, memory management, and template metaprogramming to shave off those precious microseconds, then drags you into their cave to show off their benchmark results like they've discovered fire. Meanwhile, your 10-line Python script just quietly gets the job done while you were out having a life. Sure, their code runs 100x faster, but yours was written 100x faster. The real question is: who's got time to maintain those 990 extra lines when the deadline's on Friday?
