Why Write 3 Lines Of Code When You Can Spend 30 Minutes Aligning Wires?

Nothing unites scientists and engineers quite like their collective hatred for LabVIEW. The graphical programming environment that promised to make data acquisition easier but instead created a special circle of hell where you spend hours dragging virtual wires between blocks just to read a simple voltage. The digital equivalent of untangling Christmas lights while blindfolded. Programming languages evolved to save us from spaghetti code, then LabVIEW said "hold my beer" and turned it into spaghetti diagrams. The software where a simple task takes 17 mouse clicks, 4 submenus, and the sacrifice of your remaining sanity.
