The classic variable swap without a third variable—the coding equivalent of showing off a party trick that makes actual engineers cringe. Sure, it looks clever until some compiler expert (embodied by angry Walter White) shows up to explain how your "optimization" is actually destroying CPU pipelining, creating memory dependencies, and making Dennis Ritchie roll in his grave. Meanwhile, modern compilers have spent decades optimizing temporary variable allocation that your one-liner just obliterated. It's like bringing a butter knife to a gunfight and calling yourself a ninja. The branch predictor is weeping, the cache is thrashing, and your register allocator just filed for emotional distress.
