Ah, the classic developer's dilemma that keeps project managers up at night. You've just achieved in 4 hours what management allocated 6 months for, and now you're faced with the eternal question: honesty or free paid vacation?

The correct answer depends entirely on your career goals:

Option 1: Tell your boss and watch as they immediately quadruple your workload while keeping your salary exactly the same. Congratulations, you've unlocked the "competence punishment" achievement!

Option 2: Spend the next 6 months "fine-tuning" your solution while actually learning three new programming languages, building a side project, and occasionally moving your mouse so your Teams status stays active.

The wojak face says it all - the existential crisis of a developer who just realized they're too efficient for corporate America. Welcome to the twilight zone where productivity is simultaneously demanded and feared.
