The eternal battle between impatient students and grizzled programming instructors! Prof: "Let's start with a simple 'Hello World'." Overconfident newbie: "Pfft, I can print text. Next!" And that's when the professor goes nuclear! Because learning your 17th "Hello World" feels redundant until you realize each language's setup process is a minefield of package managers, compiler flags, and environment quirks that will absolutely destroy your soul later. The professor isn't teaching you to print text—he's teaching you how to survive the chaos that follows. Those first 15 minutes of setup will save you 15 hours of debugging why your production build is inexplicably printing "undefined" instead of "Hello World".

You've been staring at that bug for 6 hours. Tried everything. Stack Overflow has failed you. Your rubber duck quit. Then suddenly, while brushing your teeth at 2 AM, the solution hits you like a divine revelation. Now you're sprinting to your laptop in your underwear with a toothbrush hanging out of your mouth because if you don't implement it RIGHT NOW, the idea will evaporate like your will to write documentation. The shower is where bugs go to die, but apparently the bathroom sink works too.

Ah, the classic "I'll solve my relationship problems with code" approach. Dude built an entire app when a text message would've worked fine. Peak programmer behavior—overengineering a simple solution while thinking they're being romantic. The real kicker? He probably spent 12 hours debugging network issues just so she can virtually tap him on the shoulder. Next version will include a Kubernetes cluster to manage their dinner plans.
