Data Structures Be Like

Ah yes, the anti-programming manifesto from someone who clearly had their code compile on the first try and couldn't handle the success. The author seems to believe computers should just magically do math without being told how. Next they'll expect their car to drive without a steering wheel because "wheels are circles, not driving devices." My favorite part is complaining about recursive methods with threads while typing this rant on a device powered by... wait for it... programming. That's like yelling at clouds for raining while standing under an umbrella. And that final while(true){ print(money); } snippet? If only it were that easy. I've been running that code for years and my bank account remains stubbornly unimpressed.

Chess and programming - two games where you're perpetually outmaneuvered. The single error is right in front of you, practically taunting you with its simplicity. Meanwhile, the 585 errors are lurking just out of sight, waiting to ambush your code when you finally fix that one obvious bug. It's like fixing a leak only to discover your entire plumbing system is actually made of Swiss cheese and wishful thinking.

Oh look, an executive order for the MATLAB developers! The age-old religious war between array indexing at 0 vs 1 just got a new contender. While C, JavaScript, and Python devs start counting from 0 like sensible humans following computer memory offset logic, and MATLAB/R folks start at 1 like mathematical purists, here comes the decree that 2 is somehow the ultimate starting index. Next up: semicolons are now optional but randomly required, and all loops must be written backwards. The compiler will decide if your code runs based on its mood that day.

The duality of programming in one Simpsons meme. Top panel: "Problem solved in under a hundred lines of code" - you're feeling like a coding god, strutting around with pride. Bottom panel: "import numpy as np" - and suddenly you realize your "solution" was just importing a library where someone else already did all the actual work. Let's be honest though - we've all been there. You spend hours trying to write a complex algorithm from scratch, then discover there's a one-liner that does it better. But hey, knowing which library to use is a skill too, right? ...Right?

Student: "Is it alright if we memory leak but get the correct answer in our pseudo code?" Instructor: "I have no idea what this question means." The beautiful moment when you've ascended to such a level of programming confusion that even your instructor's brain buffer overflows. It's like asking if your imaginary car can have flat tires but still win the race. The instructor's response is basically the computer science equivalent of "Error 404: Understanding Not Found."

SWEET MOTHER OF COMPUTATIONAL DISASTERS! This poor soul is out here creating algorithms with O(n^n) complexity and has the AUDACITY to blame it on technology limitations?! 💀 For the blissfully unaware: O(n^n) is basically the algorithmic equivalent of trying to empty the ocean with a teaspoon. It's SO HORRIFICALLY INEFFICIENT that computer scientists don't even bother including it in most complexity charts because they're too busy having nervous breakdowns just thinking about it. No honey, you're not "limited by the technology of your time" - you're limited by your catastrophic life choices in algorithm design! Even a quantum computer from the year 3000 would burst into flames trying to run that monstrosity!
