C++ Therapy Session

The BRUTAL reality of programming languages summed up in four perfect panels! 💀 Go compiler: Gentle and nurturing like a mother cat, promising to "protect you until you're ready." SUCH LIES! It's just hiding all the memory management drama behind that cute face! Rust compiler: The clingy polar bear that "keeps you warm" by SUFFOCATING you with ownership rules and borrow checker errors. It's not warmth, it's INTERROGATION! Python interpreter: The bear that "carries you" while SECRETLY making everything run at the speed of a three-legged tortoise. Thanks for nothing! And then there's C++ compiler... just straight-up "fly, bitch" energy. No hand-holding, no safety nets, just pure chaos and segmentation faults waiting to destroy your will to live!

The programming language hierarchy in its natural habitat! While the "serious" languages are geared up for battle, poor HTML is just vibing in a clown costume. The eternal debate of "is HTML a programming language?" visualized perfectly. The hardened veterans of syntax and compilation stand ready, while HTML's just happy to be included in the squad. Reminds me of that one intern who shows up to the architecture meeting with nothing but enthusiasm and a vague understanding of what a for-loop is.

Regular developers measure performance in milliseconds or microseconds because that's what modern tools show them. Meanwhile, the true optimization psychopaths are counting individual CPU clock cycles like it's 1982. They're the ones rewriting entire functions in assembly just to save 3 cycles in a loop that runs twice a day. The difference between "fast enough" and "I need to know exactly how many nanoseconds each instruction takes."

The existential crisis moment when you realize all those fancy programming languages (Ada, F#, Rust, Zig, Swift, C) are just elaborate facades for LLVM! Your entire coding career has been a lie—you've been writing glorified LLVM IR with extra steps. That beautiful syntax you've been obsessing over? Just syntactic sugar before the compiler dragon devours it all and spits out the same machine code. Next you'll tell me my mechanical keyboard is just a fancy input device!

Congratulations, you've received the ultimate programmer dad gift - a mug that basically declares your father superior to all other fathers using C syntax. The code iterates through all dads in existence, marks yours as kBestDad , and relegates everyone else's to kRegularDad status. It's basically a Father's Day card written by someone who thinks semicolons are punctuation marks for real life conversations. The only thing missing is a function that prints "Hi Hungry, I'm Dad" whenever you mention food.

Confessing your forbidden love for Python in the programming church? Straight to developer hell! The irony is Python's supposed to be the "pure" language with its clean syntax, yet we're all secretly seduced by its indentation-based structure and one-liners that make other languages look like verbose garbage. The real sin is how productive you become while other devs are still fighting with semicolons and curly braces. Forgiveness not guaranteed from the C++ priesthood.
