all pain, no gains

it's when you work your ass off and you're dead inside, feeling like a walking corpse and you still somehow fail miserably at everything you do
Hey man, I studied my ass of for two weeks for that exam we took on Tuesday.

He handed it back and I got a 46/100. All pain, no gains.

The "Gain" Approach

Originally named after a UK student, the "Gain" approach involves completing a task using the least effort possible.

Usually applied to programming, it relies on templates, copying large chunks of code, and limiting functionality to decrease production time.

So long as the output meets the minimum test criteria, it is considered a success.

Person 2 : Easy I shall just use the "Gain" approach.
