Average C++ Developer

cpp-memes, memory-management-memes, hardcore-programming-memes, language-elitism-memes, pointers-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

Behold the C++ developer in their natural habitat: manually managing memory while flexing on "easier" languages. These magnificent creatures believe that if you're not wrestling with pointers and segmentation faults before breakfast, you're not really programming. They've built biceps from carrying the weight of all those header files and abs from tensing up every time they forget to delete what they malloc'd. Modern languages with garbage collection? That's for the weak. Real programmers prefer their languages like they prefer their coffee—unnecessarily complex and likely to keep you up at night debugging.

Pass Me The Salt... But How?

That moment when even dinner conversations turn into technical debates. Normal people ask for salt, but programmers immediately need to know the implementation details. Pass-by-value makes a copy (enjoy your own salt shaker), while pass-by-reference just hands you the original (here, use mine). Ten years into coding and I still overthink simple interactions like this. The real question is whether the salt has immutable properties...

I Choose The Compiler

Sure, relationships are complicated, but compilers? Dead simple. One costs you your sanity through cryptic error messages, the other through "we need to talk." At least the compiler lets you set breakpoints instead of just breaking your heart. The beauty of apt-get install g++ is that it never asks "where is this relationship going?" It just works. And unlike certain human interactions, when a compiler points out your mistakes, it's actually trying to help you fix them—not collect ammunition for future arguments.

Six Degrees Of Programming Languages

The classic programmer's transitive property. "If I know A and B, then I know C" logic taken to its absurd conclusion. Like claiming you're fluent in Italian because you once ate at Olive Garden. Next they'll say they know machine code because they touched a computer once. The confidence of someone who thinks programming languages are just Pokémon evolutions of each other.

JavaScript Doesn't Deserve Attributes

The meme starts all noble with "STOP making fun of different programming languages" and then proceeds to give each language a compliment... except JavaScript. Poor JavaScript just sits there, nameless and attributeless, like that one kid nobody picked for dodgeball. The irony is delicious - in a post preaching language tolerance, JavaScript gets the digital equivalent of "...and you're also here I guess." Clearly whoever made this meme has spent one too many nights debugging callback hell and now has trust issues.

Why I'd Like To Avoid Using C++

The top panel shows the Rust experience: find a library on crates.io, run one command, import it, and you're done. The stick figure even has their arms outstretched in celebration. Meanwhile, C++ is depicted as the ninth circle of dependency hell. Finding libraries across random websites, manually downloading tar files, and engaging in ritual combat with CMake until your build inevitably fails. The stick figures are literally hanging themselves in despair. And this is why some of us drink heavily before attempting to add external libraries to C++ projects.

Alternative Uses Of __LINE__

When your coding interview asks you to implement FizzBuzz but you've spent the last decade writing unreadable code to impress your colleagues. That's not just FizzBuzz—that's FizzBuzz with extra steps, obfuscation, and a sprinkle of "I'm too smart for readable solutions." Nothing says "hire me" like turning a 5-line problem into cryptic sorcery using the __LINE__ macro to loop through numbers. The interviewer wanted to see if you could code; you showed them you could create puzzles that would make the Sphinx quit its day job.
