My College Professors Be Like...

That moment when you're optimizing memory usage and think "You know what? A char is 8 bits but I only need to store 5 characters... I could totally squeeze that into a 32-bit integer." Then you spend 6 hours bit-shifting and masking when you could've just used an array and gone home early. But hey, you saved 3 whole bytes! Practically a hero of computer science.

Normal humans click YouTube links with the carefree abandon of someone who's never heard of tracking algorithms. Meanwhile, programmers are over here performing digital forensics before every click, paranoid that the recommendation algorithm is secretly building a psychological profile. The incognito tab isn't just a browser feature—it's our tinfoil hat against the machine learning overlords. Because nothing says "professional paranoia" like treating a cat video recommendation like a potential security breach.

BREAKING NEWS: Those terrifying mathematical hieroglyphics that gave you nightmares in college are just glorified for-loops in disguise! 😱 The Sigma (Σ) and Pi (Π) symbols – the ancient runes that made you question your life choices – are nothing but fancy hats for code you write every single day! The AUDACITY of mathematicians to make simple iteration look like you need a PhD just to understand it! Next they'll tell us calculus is just spicy arithmetic! THE BETRAYAL!

Technical interviews are the ultimate game of "say what you want, get what you don't." The interviewer wanted to see your algorithm skills, maybe a nice little loop with a comparison variable. Instead, they got two lines that leverage the language's built-in methods. Technically correct—the best kind of correct. The interviewer's face is the universal expression for "I should have been more specific with my requirements." This is why senior devs write tickets with 17 paragraphs of edge cases.

The absolute AUDACITY of this developer printing an entire chess board for EACH POSSIBLE MOVE! 😱 Instead of creating a simple reusable function, this maniac is hard-coding 2.6 MILLION lines to handle every chess position! It's the programming equivalent of writing out every word in the dictionary instead of just looking it up! The poor soul who has to review this code will need therapy AND a new keyboard after smashing the current one into oblivion. Chess programming doesn't have to be your villain origin story, people!

Oh, the brilliance of "StalinSort" - where elements that don't conform to the expected order simply... disappear . It's a historical algorithm joke that's both O(n) efficient and politically incorrect! The algorithm "eliminates" non-conforming elements rather than rearranging them, which is a dark reference to Stalin's purges where people who didn't fall in line were removed from society (and often from photos). Technically, it's not even a sorting algorithm - it's just filtering with dictatorial characteristics. The kind of code that would get flagged in a code review faster than you can say "comrade".
