Someone discovered you can skip the entire computer science curriculum by copy-pasting transformer code from Hugging Face. Why waste years learning Python, data structures, algorithms, discrete math, calculus, and statistics when you can just import a pre-trained model and call it "AI engineering"? The escalator labeled "attention is all you need" (referencing the famous transformer paper) goes straight to the top while the stairs gather dust. Turns out the only prerequisite for a six-figure AI job is knowing how to pip install and having the confidence to say "I fine-tuned a model" in interviews.

So you can suggest rewriting the entire codebase in Rust? Fine. You can claim Python is superior to C++? Sure, go ahead. But the moment you mention using GOTO in your code, suddenly everyone transforms into Dijkstra's ghost ready to excommunicate you from the programming community. The programming world has this hilarious hierarchy of acceptable heresies. Language wars? Totally cool. Tabs vs spaces? Bring it on. But GOTO? That's where we draw the line, apparently. It's like the one universally agreed-upon sin that transcends all other debates. Fun fact: Dijkstra's famous 1968 letter "Go To Statement Considered Harmful" basically turned GOTO into programming's forbidden fruit. Now it exists in most languages but using it is like admitting you eat pizza with a fork—technically possible, but socially unacceptable.
