You know how pregnant people are told "don't drink, don't smoke, it won't affect the baby"? Well, turns out some things DO have long-term consequences. Fast forward 20 years and the baby grows up to be someone who genuinely believes Microsoft Word is the best IDE for programming.

The video shows someone actually coding in Word with syntax highlighting and everything, making a case for why it's a "superior" development environment. It's like watching someone use a hammer to screw in a lightbulb and then writing a thesis on why it's more efficient than a ladder.

The causality here is chef's kiss: something clearly went wrong during development (pun intended), and now we're witnessing the consequences. Next up: "Why Notepad is better than Git for version control" and "Excel: The Ultimate Database Management System."
