Ah, the magical transformation that happens when someone glances at your monitor! One second you're crafting cryptic pointer arithmetic that would make Linus Torvalds weep with joy, and the next you're writing the programming equivalent of "See Spot Run." The code suddenly becomes so simple it's practically insulting - a glorified boolean return that a toddler could debug.

It's like your brain enters panic mode: "ABORT COMPLEX ALGORITHMS! HUMAN DETECTED! QUICK, LOOK COMPETENT BUT NOT TOO COMPETENT!" And suddenly you're writing code that screams "I definitely know what I'm doing" while simultaneously hiding the digital chaos you were just reveling in.

The irony? That simple if-else statement probably took more mental energy than the pointer voodoo you were happily writing before someone invaded your sacred coding bubble.
