The eternal academic turf war continues! Physicists spend decades unraveling the mysteries of the universe, publishing papers nobody reads, and surviving on ramen... only to watch some CS grad who taught a computer to play tic-tac-toe walk away with the Nobel. That sideways glance of existential despair is every physicist who just realized they picked the wrong major. Meanwhile, CS folks are too busy counting their tech stock options to even notice they won.

Ah, the classic case of overengineering a solution for a problem that barely exists. Imagine using nanosecond precision for generating unique tokens in an app that only five people use, and STILL getting collisions. That's like bringing a nuclear warhead to kill a spider and somehow missing. For the uninitiated, a "nonce" is a number used just once in security protocols. Using nanoseconds (billionths of a second) should be massive overkill for uniqueness in a tiny app, yet somehow this dev defied probability itself. The cat's expression perfectly captures that moment of existential crisis when you realize the universe is conspiring against your code.
