C Is Weird Too

c-programming-memes, pointers-memes, array-syntax-memes, cursed-code-memes, programming-quirks-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

Oh sweet heavens, the AUDACITY of C language pointer syntax! First panel: array[3] - absolutely logical, accessing the 4th element. Second panel: *(array + 3) - STILL FINE because arrays are basically just fancy pointers wearing a trench coat.

But then... THEN... 3[array]?! THE UNHOLY ABOMINATION THAT ACTUALLY WORKS?! Because in C's twisted reality, a[b] is literally just syntactic sugar for *(a+b), and addition is commutative so *(3+array) is valid. The character's face in the last panel is my soul leaving my body the first time I discovered this cursed knowledge.

Memory Access Violation During Critical Operations

Your brain during normal life: fully operational. Your brain during exams: Segmentation fault (core dumped) . That moment when your mental RAM decides to crash precisely when you need to access that function you memorized last night. Just like in C programming, your neural pointers are suddenly pointing to restricted memory addresses. The system administrator upstairs has clearly deployed a faulty update.

Unity Bad, OpenGL Good

Left: Game dev crying because Unity changed their pricing model and now they need a second mortgage to make a 2D platformer. Right: The bearded C++ developer who's been writing their own engine since 2003 and still hasn't released a game, but boy does that skybox rendering look crisp. It's the classic tradeoff - use a commercial engine and get destroyed by licensing fees, or build your own and get destroyed by feature creep. Either way, your game is never shipping.

End Of An Era

A lonely C++ programmer stands in the corner of a party, nursing a drink while contemplating memory management strategies. Meanwhile, the "vibe coders" and "latest JavaScript framework coders" are having the time of their lives, blissfully unaware that pointers even exist. It's like watching someone who knows how engines work watching TikTokers who think cars run on magic and good vibes. The C++ dev silently judges while manually freeing memory that nobody else even knows they're allocating.

How Does It Keep Happening

You start with a simple task. Just need a random number. Three hours later, you've accidentally created a cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator with entropy harvesting and statistical validation. The blank stare in the mirror is your soul leaving your body as you realize you've done it again. C programming has this magical ability to turn "I'll just write 5 lines of code" into "I've reinvented an entire subsystem from scratch." The worst part? You'll do it again next week.

Actual Estimate By Professional Game Studio

Ah, the classic "two-week estimate" strikes again! Some poor project manager just claimed they can convert a 20-year-old C++ codebase to C# in just two weeks. Anyone who's ever touched legacy code knows that's like saying you'll clean the Augean stables with a toothpick. The king's response is the only reasonable one – crowning this developer as the new reigning champion of unrealistic expectations. This is why we drink so much coffee... and sometimes stronger stuff.

The Real Heroes Of Programming

Look at us flexing with our fancy Python, JavaScript, and LLM integrations while the entire banking system runs on COBOL written by someone who retired in 1997. The real heroes aren't the bodybuilders showing off their shiny new frameworks—it's the lone programmer carrying decades of legacy code on their shoulders. Nothing says job security quite like being the only person who remembers how to maintain systems that process trillions of dollars daily but can't handle Y2K without duct tape and prayers.
