The Code Critic's Double Standard

Four years of computer science education vs. one Android kernel vulnerability that says "You are now a developer." The duality of modern tech! Somewhere, a CS professor is crying into their algorithms textbook while script kiddies are getting root access with zero knowledge of Big O notation. That security hole has been letting people "become developers" since 2014, and Google's probably still marking it as "will fix in next release" on their Jira board.

The duality of a developer's existence in one perfect image. On the left, we have the glorious mess that somehow passes all tests - a monument to "if it works, don't touch it." On the right, the cleaned-up, top-hat-wearing version we frantically create right before pushing to the repository. Nobody needs to know about the 17 nested if-statements and that one variable named "temp_final_ACTUALLY_FINAL_v2." Just slap on a bow tie, remove those unused variables, and pretend you wrote it that way from the start. The Git history never reveals the true horrors that occurred at 3 AM when you finally got that algorithm working.
