The worst part? The AI assistant I was using just watched me do it and said nothing. Absolute betrayal.

Spent an hour debugging why my API wasn't returning data.

Checked logs.
Checked database.
Checked network requests.
Questioned my life choices.

The problem?

The server wasn't running. 😭

What do you mean nobody uses C++ anymore! I just spent seven and a half and a ton of thousands of dollars learning it!
