How To Forget C++

Eight hours of programming? Just another Tuesday. Eight hours of debugging that missing semicolon? Time moves differently in that realm. It's like entering a black hole where minutes stretch into years and your soul slowly leaves your body with each console error. The worst part? You'll eventually find it, stare at it for 10 seconds, and question your career choices.

Ah, the classic "use-after-free" vulnerability just got real-world consequences! While normal humans talk about wanting to have their cake and eat it too (an impossible situation), our programmer dude immediately translates it into memory management speak. A use-after-free vulnerability happens when a program continues to use a pointer after it's been freed, potentially leading to crashes, data corruption, or even remote code execution. Basically, this guy's brain is so deep in debugging mode that he can't even have a normal conversation without turning it into a technical analysis. His relationship status? It's complicated... just like his codebase.

OH MY GODDD! The AUDACITY of people using 'i' as a loop variable! It's like wearing socks with sandals in the programming world! 💅 Listen honey, we've evolved past single-letter variables - it's 2024 and we deserve better! Next thing you know, these savages will be using 'j' for nested loops and 'x' for temporary variables. THE HORROR! Give me my 'currentIndex' or give me death! *dramatically faints onto keyboard*

Parents buying programming books for babies while poor Toby's already driven to alcoholism at age 3. When your parents force-feed you C++, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript before you can even form complete sentences, your career path is pretty much decided. That kid's thousand-yard stare says it all - he's already debugging nested callbacks in his sippy cup. The modern tech parenting approach: skip the alphabet books and go straight to syntax errors. No wonder he's hitting the bottle early - he probably dreams in segmentation faults.

Ah, the "localization" approach that makes your code completely unreadable to everyone except the one person who thought this was a good idea. Nothing says "job security" like replacing standard C++ keywords with Chinese characters. Future maintainers will either need Google Translate or a strong drink. Probably both. The function at the bottom is just adding two numbers and returning the result. Could've been a one-liner, but now it's an international diplomatic incident waiting to happen during code review.

You're crying over 10 errors in 20 lines? Cute. Meanwhile, the first compiler developers had to write perfect code with zero feedback. No red squiggly lines. No error messages. Just the cold, unforgiving void of punch cards and assembly. If their code failed, they'd never know why. They're basically the programming equivalent of those ancient warriors who built their own weapons while fighting off bears. Next time your IDE highlights a missing semicolon, pour one out for the ghosts of computer science past.
