Finding that StackOverflow post from a decade ago with your exact problem is like discovering ancient ruins. The post has zero answers, just a skeleton of hope sitting in the digital wasteland. You stand there, sword in hand, contemplating whether to continue your quest or join the fallen coder in eternal digital silence. The true horror isn't bugs or deadlines—it's realizing your "unique" problem was abandoned by someone else who probably switched careers to become a goat farmer.

Software design classes have a special talent for turning perfectly functional two-component systems into architectural nightmares. Got thing 1 talking to thing 2? Cool, but have you considered adding a "thing in the middle" with bidirectional arrows pointing everywhere like a plate of spaghetti? The "problem" diagram shows a simple, slightly messy connection between two components. The "solution"? Introduce a mediator pattern that somehow requires even more arrows and connections. Because nothing says "clean architecture" like tripling your integration points and creating a new single point of failure. Bonus points if your professor calls this "decoupling" while you're literally adding more coupling. The mediator now knows about everything, and everything knows about the mediator. Congratulations, you've just invented a god object with extra steps.
