The eternal holy war of programming: zero-indexing vs one-indexing. Some languages start arrays at 0 (looking at you, C and friends), others insist on starting at 1 (MATLAB and Lua, you rebels). Then there's that one galaxy-brain developer who suggests starting at 0.5 as a "compromise." Because nothing says "I've solved computer science" like introducing floating point errors into your array indices. Next brilliant idea: using π as the starting index – because irrational numbers make PERFECT sense for memory addressing!

You signed up for data science thinking you'd be building cool AI models and predicting the future, but NOPE—here you are, cramming optimization algorithms into your brain like it's finals week in calculus hell. Second-order optimization methods? Dynamic programming? Gradient descent variations? Girl, same. The existential crisis is REAL when you realize "fun with data" actually means memorizing mathematical nightmares that would make your high school math teacher weep with joy. Plot twist: nobody warned you that "data science" is just "applied mathematics with extra steps" in disguise. 📊💀
