Where Exe? The Compilation Gap

The eternal Microsoft login loop - where "Stay signed in" is the digital equivalent of pushing a crosswalk button that's not connected to anything. You check that box with such hope, such optimism... only to be asked for your credentials again 15 minutes later. It's like Microsoft's authentication system has the memory of a goldfish with amnesia. The "Don't show this again" checkbox might as well say "Click here to feel like you have control over something in your life." Pure digital gaslighting at its finest.

Oh, the BETRAYAL of modern computing! You dropped half a grand on a bleeding-edge AM5 CPU and a blazing-fast M.2 NVMe drive that can theoretically transfer data faster than light itself, only to watch your PC boot up like it's stuck in molasses. Meanwhile, your crusty old 2010 setup with a cheap SATA SSD was zooming through boot screens like The Flash on espresso. The cruel irony? Windows has become SO bloated with telemetry, security checks, and whatever mysterious rituals it performs during startup that even NASA-grade hardware can't save you. Your fancy 8000MB/s drive sits there twiddling its thumbs while Windows decides whether it wants to check for updates, scan your soul, or just take a leisurely stroll through its startup processes. Technology peaked in 2015 and nobody can convince me otherwise!

The moment you get that computer science degree, everyone suddenly thinks you're the designated IT support person for the entire extended family. Nothing says "I've made it as an engineer" quite like being handed a printer that hasn't worked since Windows XP and being told "you can fix this, right?" The girlfriend bringing home a friend's printer is the final boss of unpaid tech support. Six years of algorithms and data structures for this glorious moment.

Oh, the TRAUMA of modern OS interfaces! Look at that gorgeous Windows 7 start menu in all its organized, logical glory - before Microsoft decided we all needed to suffer through tiles, hidden menus, and updates that reorganize your entire digital existence without permission! Remember when you could actually FIND things without having to perform a sacred ritual and sacrifice your firstborn to Cortana? When settings weren't buried seventeen layers deep in a UI designed by someone who clearly hates humanity? Those transparent Aero effects were the PEAK of human achievement, and I will die on this hill! Modern Windows is just a dystopian hellscape where every feature you love disappears with each update. THE HORROR!

You know how pregnant people are told "don't drink, don't smoke, it won't affect the baby"? Well, turns out some things DO have long-term consequences. Fast forward 20 years and the baby grows up to be someone who genuinely believes Microsoft Word is the best IDE for programming. The video shows someone actually coding in Word with syntax highlighting and everything, making a case for why it's a "superior" development environment. It's like watching someone use a hammer to screw in a lightbulb and then writing a thesis on why it's more efficient than a ladder. The causality here is chef's kiss: something clearly went wrong during development (pun intended), and now we're witnessing the consequences. Next up: "Why Notepad is better than Git for version control" and "Excel: The Ultimate Database Management System."

Listen up, children! Gather 'round for tales of the ANCIENT TIMES! Back in the mystical era of VB 6.0, we didn't have your fancy object-oriented programming with inheritance hierarchies and polymorphic nightmares! NO! We wrote pseudo code that magically worked! Just slapped some spaghetti code together, hit compile, and BOOM—functioning software! No encapsulation, no abstraction, just pure, chaotic WORKING CODE! Those were the days when men were men and bugs were features! *dramatically wipes tear* The simplicity! The madness! The absolute HORROR of maintaining it years later!
