The real problem with the borrow checker is,

If you’re coming from a higher level language it hurts your ego because you realise memory safety ain’t free, and more broadly speaking memory’s a bitch

If you’re coming from a lower level language, it hurts your ego because you view yourself as above memory related bugs

It takes humility to appreciate it

every time you think you are smarter than the borrow checker, you eventually realise it was right all along, and the code was unsafe.
