I once had a user complain to me a web app was too slow (and it was pretty fast). So I tested him by making the animation spinner spin much faster. He went to my boss to praise me how much faster the web app was. (spin.js is what i was using)

OH. MY. GOD. This is the coding equivalent of finding a HAIR in your GOURMET MEAL! 💀 Imagine spending TWO YEARS hunting for a performance bug while your game crawls like a snail having an existential crisis, only to discover you've got nested loops iterating through EVERY. SINGLE. PIXEL. of a sprite with a light diffusion algorithm running INSIDE that loop! 🔍 The absolute DRAMA of having your game's framerate PLUMMET because someone decided to process lighting effects with the computational efficiency of a potato calculator! And that recursive position_meeting() check? *faints dramatically* It's practically BEGGING the CPU to burst into flames! No wonder they had to rewrite the entire engine! This code is the reason therapists stay in business! 😭

Ah, the ancient ritual of code review. That moment when you're staring at someone else's spaghetti logic like a caveman discovering fire for the first time. No comments, variable names like 'x1', 'temp', and 'doStuff', and nested if-statements seven layers deep. Your brain just goes "confused unga bunga" as you try to decipher what dark magic the previous developer was attempting to summon. The only thing missing is banging rocks together hoping for documentation to appear.
