Memory Is All You Need

That moment when you're trying to loop through an Iterator in Java and the compiler just sits there judging you like this capybara. The compiler's basically saying "Sorry buddy, you can't use a for-each loop on an Iterator because... well... an Iterator IS the thing that lets you iterate!" It's like trying to drive a car factory instead of driving the actual car it produces. The worst part? Deep down you know the compiler is right, but that doesn't make the error message any less painful. You'll have to use a while(hasNext()) loop like a caveman instead.

When your relatives discover you "work with computers," you become the default IT support. The sheer frustration of explaining that their laptop freezing has nothing to do with Amazon Web Services being down is a special kind of pain. It's like trying to convince someone that their toaster isn't working because NASA's satellite is offline. The blank stare you get in return is the universal signal that they've mentally filed your explanation under "techno-babble excuses" while still expecting you to fix their 10-year-old malware-infested machine.

Microsoft employee proudly shows off VS Code as "my fastest editor" while completely oblivious to the fact that it's still activating extensions in the background. Anyone who's ever opened VS Code knows that feeling of false hope when you think you can start coding immediately, only to stare at that loading bar for what feels like several geological eras. Sure, it's "fast"... if your definition of fast includes time to brew coffee, contemplate existence, and perhaps learn a new programming language while waiting.
