Yet They Still Don't Work

Ah, the eternal gap between perception and reality in CS. You casually mention you're studying computer science, and suddenly everyone thinks you're some digital demigod who can resurrect their 10-year-old laptop with a single touch. Meanwhile, the truth is you're just another soul staring blankly at a compiler error at 3am, questioning your life choices and wondering if the machine is actually sentient and personally hates you. The best part? After 15 years in the industry, I still get family calls about printer issues. No, Aunt Karen, my distributed systems expertise doesn't help me understand why your wireless printer only works on Tuesdays.

The self-dramatization of software engineers knows no bounds. There you are, lounging in a $1,500 ergonomic throne, sipping artisanal coffee in your climate-controlled apartment, while dramatically whispering war metaphors about writing a handful of assert statements. The true battlefield of our generation: deciding whether to use assertEquals() or assertTrue() while your Herman Miller gently cradles your suffering body. The struggle is clearly comparable to actual trenches. Truly, no one has ever faced such hardship as debugging code with fast internet and snacks within arm's reach.

When asked how I fixed that critical production bug, I simply implemented the industry-standard "Ostrich Algorithm" - the elegant practice of burying your head in the sand and hoping the problem is rare enough that nobody notices. It's not laziness, it's resource optimization. The documentation even backs me up. Why waste precious dev hours on something that might happen once every 10,000 executions when you could be creating exciting new bugs instead?
