Time To Grind Sorting Algo

The classic tale of programmer heartbreak! When normal people say "1st table," they mean the first one you see. But our poor dev hero went straight to Table 00 because arrays start at zero in most programming languages. The final panel says it all - another relationship crashed by off-by-one errors. This is why programmers should stick to explicit indexing in their love notes. Maybe next time try "Meet me at tables[0]" for clarity's sake!

Regular scientists question why something works. Computer scientists stare blankly at their screens at 3AM wondering why their perfectly valid code refuses to run. Then it suddenly works without changing anything. Science has rules. Programming has mood swings.

Salvation through functional programming! The creator of this masterpiece has blessed us with the holiest of conditional statements—baptism implemented in Haskell. The function returns Maybe Person because even divine intervention respects type safety. If you're already baptized? Return Nothing . Otherwise, you get Just (markBaptized p) . The conditionalBaptize function even uses monadic composition with maybe to handle the uncertainty of salvation. Next time your code needs saving, remember that even spiritual transformations can be expressed as pure functions with no side effects—except eternal life, of course.

The classic "write a loop vs. hardcode everything" dilemma, beautifully illustrated. Why waste time crafting an elegant algorithm with nested loops and incrementing variables when you can just... print each line manually? Sure, your CS professor would have an aneurysm, but the code works, doesn't it? This is the programming equivalent of using a hammer to kill a fly – unnecessarily direct but undeniably effective. Bonus points for the confidence it takes to submit this in an actual interview. That's not laziness – that's efficiency with a side of audacity.

On the left: "CS is dead!" crowd screaming into the void on Reddit. On the right: Developer proudly using array.sort()[0] in an interview when asked to find the smallest number in a list. Turns out the job market isn't dead—it just doesn't want people who think built-in methods are algorithmic brilliance. Who knew interviewers wanted to see you actually understand sorting algorithms instead of calling JavaScript's magical sort fairy?

That moment when your elegant university CS theories get absolutely demolished by industry reality. The top shows a pristine school bus (your theoretical knowledge) calmly sitting on tracks, while the bottom shows that same bus getting obliterated by the freight train of real-world development. Seven years into my career and I'm still waiting to implement that perfect red-black tree I spent weeks studying. Meanwhile, I'm knee-deep in legacy code written by someone who clearly thought variable naming was optional and comments were for the weak.
