If-Else Purgatory: A Developer's Nightmare

OH. MY. GOD. The absolute TRAGEDY of having to manually code a lookup table with if-else statements when all you want is a simple dictionary or switch-case! 😱 This poor soul is writing the programming equivalent of War and Peace just to map numbers to boolean values! The code just keeps scrolling and scrolling like my ex's text messages after I told them "we need to talk." Whoever thought this was the best approach clearly enjoys emotional pain and suffering. There's literally like 17 better ways to do this but here we are, trapped in if-else purgatory! And the tweet "God I wish there was an easier way to do this" is just *chef's kiss* peak developer irony.
