Creates own language, frameworks, libraries. Top notch code for everything. Nobody knows why he does it this way, but his work is impressive.

Oh. My. God. That moment when your code produces a bug so SPECTACULARLY WEIRD that not even the almighty Google or ChatGPT can comprehend your suffering! 😭 You're just sitting there, staring at your monitor with that exact Mike Wazowski face, completely dead inside because you've created a glitch so unique it might as well be your tragic superpower. It's like you've discovered a new species of error that science isn't ready for. Congratulations, you broke programming in a way no one has ever broken it before! Your bug is basically the hipster of software errors - it's too obscure for mainstream debugging tools.
