Too Real To Be Comfortable

This is what happens when you open that project from your GitHub graveyard. That tangled mess of wires perfectly captures the horror of revisiting your old code—a chaotic nightmare that somehow worked but you have absolutely no idea how. The poor soul climbing into that disaster is all of us trying to add "just one small feature" to code we wrote before we knew better. It's like archaeological excavation, except instead of treasure you find comments like "//fix this later" and functions named "temp_solution_final_v3_ACTUALLY_FINAL".
