All My Homies Hate CMake

Oh look, it's the "my code is basically just a long-winded love letter to the compiler" approach. Every single line drowning in comments that explain the blindingly obvious while adding zero actual value. This is what happens when someone takes "document your code" advice and cranks it to 11. You know who writes code like this? The same person who explains what a fork is while handing it to you at dinner. The real irony? After 7 years in the industry, you'll be begging for any comments in the 10,000-line legacy codebase you've inherited. Just not... whatever this crime against syntax highlighting is.

The evolution of C-based languages depicted through increasingly intense reactions. C is met with boredom. C++ sparks interest. C# triggers excitement. Then we hit whatever unholy abomination C with a snowflake is supposed to be, causing brain meltdown. Finally, C with a tesseract dimension cube transforms our developer into a transcendent being who can see through time and space. Classic progression from "I can code" to "I have become one with the compiler."

Billion-dollar GPU vs. one efficient Japanese coder? Not even a contest. While we're all chasing fancy hardware to run our bloated, framework-heavy code, Japanese game devs are out here making masterpieces run on calculators. Monster Hunter and Elden Ring weren't built with 16 layers of abstraction and 800MB of node_modules. The rest of us are like "I need a quantum computer to center this div" while they're squeezing every last cycle from hardware like it's still the PS2 era. Efficiency is apparently a lost art everywhere except Japan.

Stroustrup in 1987: "C++ is designed to make programming more enjoyable for the serious programmer." Programmers for the next 36 years: *crying while debugging memory leaks, fighting with template metaprogramming, and questioning life choices after seeing error messages longer than the entire codebase* Nothing says "enjoyable" quite like manually managing pointers at 3AM while questioning if you should've just become a farmer instead.

The programming language family drama we never asked for but definitely deserve! Your crush codes in Python (easy, flexible, popular), but her dad is a C++ veteran (strict, powerful, intimidating). Meanwhile, her brother's over there with Java (corporate, verbose), and her crush is into Rust (modern, safe, hipster-approved). And there's you... coding in Brainfuck, the programming equivalent of communicating exclusively through hieroglyphics and morse code combined. Nothing says "I'm technically brilliant but make questionable life choices" quite like mastering a language made of nothing but plus signs, brackets, and dots. The dating pool in computer science just got exponentially more complicated!

THE ULTIMATE DEVELOPER INCEPTION! 🤯 This poor soul is asking Twitter to find someone to ping Aman in Slack... while their IDE is LITERALLY telling them to ping Aman in Slack! It's like asking someone for directions while standing directly under a giant neon sign with an arrow pointing to your destination. The cosmic irony of technology professionals who can debug complex systems but somehow miss the BLAZING OBVIOUS error message right in front of their face. We've all been there—staring at our screens for hours only to realize the solution was screaming at us the entire time. The digital equivalent of looking for your glasses while wearing them!
