You know you've entered dangerous territory when winning a programming competition feels like a Pyrrhic victory. Sure, you got first place and bragging rights, but your code is so horrifically cursed that even Boromir—who literally tried to steal the Ring—would've placed higher on the morality scale. Maybe it's held together with duct tape and prayer, riddled with global variables, or has a time complexity that makes O(n!) look efficient. Either way, you won, but your soul (and your codebase) paid the price. Sometimes the real competition is between you and your conscience.
