BEHOLD!

IT IS CUBE!!
the good computer science feeling: suddenly realizing the solution to your problem is exceedingly simple to implement and a lot more efficient than what you had initially planned
the bad computer science feeling: realizing you have wasted an entire week trying to get your hack-y garbage solution to work when the much better solution took 20 minutes to get working
the takeaway: rubber duck debugging works really fucking well lmao (in my case it’s plush yoshi debugging)
