The Ultimate Job Security Hack

Ah, the haunting memory of C syntax when you've gone full Python. The meme shows a Python dev who also knows C, staring longingly at a framed photo of those low-level constructs they once mastered. It's like keeping a picture of your ex on your nightstand – painful yet somehow comforting. Sure, Python lets you write a sorting algorithm in 3 lines while sipping tea, but deep down you miss manually incrementing loop counters and segfaulting your way through memory management. That muscle memory for semicolons never truly fades.

That heart-stopping moment when you deliberately delete some code instead of copying it (because who needs backups, right?)... only to suddenly realize you actually needed that code. Then—like a digital necromancer—you hit Ctrl+Z and your supposedly dead code resurrects itself. The emotional reunion that follows is worthy of a Hollywood tearjerker. Your cursor hovers there, trembling with gratitude that undo buffers exist. Without Ctrl+Z, half of all code would permanently vanish into the void during refactoring sessions.

Spent three months researching parts, another month waiting for GPU prices to drop, two weeks building and troubleshooting, and now you just... stare at it. The RGB looks nice I guess? Turns out the real dream was the obsessive parts comparison spreadsheets we made along the way. That moment when you realize you spent $3000 to do exactly what you were doing before: scrolling Reddit and occasionally opening VS Code to stare at that side project you'll "definitely finish someday."
