I weirdly love reading code and figuring out what it's doing. Debugging is cathartic.

It might take a while and I might be cussing up a storm saying, wtf is this shit? Why the fuck would you do it this way? Why the fuck did you make this convoluted for no reason?

Right now it's unfucking some vibe coded bs where instead of just fixing an API to get the info we needed accurately, it's trying to infer it from other data. Like, there is a super direct and simple route, but instead there are hundreds of lines to work around hitting the wrong endpoint and getting data missing the details we need.

Plus letting the vibe add so much that is literally never used, was never needed, and on top of that returns incorrect information.

enjoying it is a different issue. You probably enjoy it because it's more difficult, which is perfectly valid reasoning
