When The "Optimized" Code Runs Slower Than The Original

That moment of existential dread when your meticulously "optimized" code actually runs slower than the original spaghetti mess. You spent three days refactoring, adding clever algorithms, and even throwing in some fancy design patterns—only to watch your benchmark times get worse. The computer is clearly gaslighting you. Next step: blame the compiler, blame the hardware, blame cosmic rays... anything but admit your optimization skills might need optimization.

Each Billion Dollar Bank's Tech Reality

HONEY, LISTEN TO ME! The banking industry is having a CRISIS of BIBLICAL proportions! First they're all like "Modern" and "Front" and "End" - cool buzzwords that make developers feel special. But then BOOM! Plot twist! She says "Modern Frontend" and he DARES to respond with "Java Servlet"?! 💀 It's like showing up to a Tesla convention with a steam engine! These billion-dollar banks are STILL running ancient Java servlets from the JURASSIC PERIOD while pretending they're all modern and cutting-edge! The AUDACITY! The DECEPTION! The absolutely prehistoric tech stack masquerading in designer clothes!
