Tech Debt Productivity Multiplier

OH SWEET MOTHER OF LEGACY CODE! On one side, IBM is using AI to translate ancient COBOL spells into modern Java incantations. On the other, some government agency named DOGE (not the meme, sadly) wants to rewrite MILLIONS of lines of Social Security code in MONTHS?! 😱 This is like watching two different approaches to defusing a nuclear bomb - one careful robot surgeon vs. a toddler with safety scissors and a "can-do" attitude. The entire financial future of American retirees hanging in the balance because someone thought "Hey, let's just YOLO this 60-year-old codebase real quick!" I'm having heart palpitations just thinking about it! For the uninitiated: COBOL is that programming language your grandpa used that refuses to die because it runs basically EVERYTHING important - banks, airlines, and yes, your social security checks. It's the digital equivalent of those load-bearing walls you definitely shouldn't knock down during your weekend renovation project.

Your RAM before and after string concatenation in a loop. Left side: Happy dev using StringBuilder to efficiently manage memory. Right side: The haunted face of someone who just watched their app crash because they used the + operator to concatenate strings 10,000 times in a loop. The difference between O(n) and O(n²) performance isn't just theoretical—it's written all over your face when production goes down.

The beautiful irony of throwing an AssertionError with the message "Unreachable code reached" is just *chef's kiss*. It's the programming equivalent of installing a security camera inside a black hole. You're basically telling the compiler "this code will never execute" and then writing an error message for when it does execute. The cosmic paradox of defensive programming at its finest! This is the senior developer's version of "trust no one, not even yourself." They've been burned too many times by "impossible" edge cases showing up in production at 3 AM.
