Look at this poor, emaciated HashMap cow being MILKED TO DEATH by this cheerful LeetCode farmer! 💀 The absolute AUDACITY! While the rest of the programming world has moved on to fancy data structures, this person is still greeting their HashMap like it's their only friend in the coding universe! "Good mor-ning sunshine!" SERIOUSLY?! It's like watching someone use the same hammer for EVERY SINGLE PROBLEM because they once successfully hit a nail with it. HashMap for this, HashMap for that—what's next, HashMap to calculate rocket trajectories?! The rest of us are over here with our balanced trees, graphs, and priority queues crying in the corner!

Remember when we used to memorize algorithms and syntax? Yeah, me neither. The meme shows our brains shrinking to pea-size after using ChatGPT for coding. Why bother storing all that knowledge when you can just prompt an AI? "Hey ChatGPT, how do I reverse a binary tree while making coffee?" and boom—instant solution without taxing those precious neurons. Soon we'll just be meat puppets with thumbs for typing prompts while our atrophied brains handle the critical task of deciding when to get more coffee. Progress!

The moment when you realize those intimidating Greek symbols from calculus are just fancy for-loops in disguise! The Σ (sigma) notation is literally just a sum = 0 followed by a for-loop that adds stuff up. And that scary Π (pi) symbol? Just a prod = 1 with a for-loop that multiplies things together. Computer science majors smugly realizing they've been doing advanced math all along without the pretentious notation. Take that, pure mathematicians!

So you spent three weeks learning trigonometry, diving into DDA algorithms, and debugging why your walls look like a Salvador Dalí painting, only to realize John Carmack did this in 1992 on hardware that had less computing power than your smart toaster. And he did it while probably eating pizza and writing assembly like it was a casual Tuesday. The "box of triangles" bit hits different when you realize modern game engines abstract all this pain away with their fancy rendering pipelines, but back then? Carmack was literally casting rays and doing trigonometric calculations per pixel to fake 3D in Wolfenstein 3D. No GPU acceleration, no Unity, no "just import Three.js"—just raw math and the will to make demons shootable. Meanwhile, you're here in 2024 with Stack Overflow, ChatGPT, and 64GB of RAM, still struggling to get your raycaster to not crash when you look at a corner. Humbling stuff.

Found the one Python programmer who got rich. Not from writing code, but from realizing that p == np evaluates to True when p = np . The P vs NP problem is a million-dollar Millennium Prize, and this genius just "solved" it by assigning a variable. Seven years of computer science education and all I got was this stupid joke about computational complexity theory.

The DRAMATIC DECLINE of a CS student's soul in four horrifying acts! 😱 Year 1: Look at this precious innocent baby printing "Hello World" with the enthusiasm of someone who thinks they'll be the next Zuckerberg. ADORABLE. They have NO IDEA what's coming. Year 2: Reality starts to set in. That face says "I've seen things... terrible things... like trying to balance binary trees at 3 AM while questioning my life choices." Year 3: COMPLETE PSYCHOLOGICAL BREAKDOWN. "I wanna go home" is code for "I've forgotten what sunlight feels like and my dreams are in Python syntax." Year 4: The final transformation! When your degree crushes your soul so thoroughly that you abandon all hope of a traditional career and decide to become a YouTube coding guru instead. THE CIRCLE OF DESPAIR IS COMPLETE!
