When I was 8 I was making a "video game" (a complete bundle of code trash 😉) and I would copy people's code and everything would melt down. I would spend hours debugging just to realize I needed to pass an extra argument or indent or something.

Today I'm better at my job. I am now the one writing confusing function APIs 😈
