Complexity: A Developer's True Love Language

The eternal paradox of our craft in one perfect sign. Spent six years getting a CS degree just to stare at code that worked yesterday but doesn't today because Mercury is in retrograde or something. The best part? That magical moment when you remove a line of code to see if it breaks things, it doesn't, but you're too afraid to delete it permanently because the programming gods are fickle and vengeful.

Just like when you're about to deliver a profound statement and someone interjects with "sandwiches?" The AI is trying so hard to be helpful but sometimes the suggestions are so wildly disconnected from your actual coding intentions that you can't help but laugh. It's that special relationship where you type "const authenticate = async (user" and Copilot suggests "...PizzaDeliveryOptions) =>"
