Include Linalg... In The Next Decade

Ah yes, the most deterministic random number generator ever created. This function declares an uninitialized integer 'd', then immediately returns it. Congratulations, you've successfully implemented a "random" number generator that returns whatever garbage value happened to be sitting in that memory location. It's random in the sense that you have no idea what you're getting, but it's definitely not what anyone requesting a random number would want. Task failed successfully.

Looks like someone's been using this C programming book exactly as intended - as a surface for cutting lines of cocaine. Memory management isn't the only unsafe thing about C! The white powder trails are just the perfect metaphor for how C gives you enough rope to completely destroy yourself. No wonder programmers stay up for 72 hours straight debugging pointer arithmetic - they've got chemical assistance! Now we finally understand why Kernighan and Ritchie created null-terminated strings... they were clearly under the influence of something.

The dark magic of build systems strikes again! Kitware, the company behind CMake, somehow claims 24 million users despite no one ever voluntarily identifying as a "CMake user." It's like that moment when you realize you've been drafted into an army you never signed up for. The Saruman imagery is perfect because using CMake feels exactly like staring into a mysterious orb that shows you cryptic error messages while slowly draining your will to live. We all just wanted to compile our code, but instead we're part of some grand arcane ritual.

The classic "technically correct but missing the point" approach to programming assignments! The question asks for a pattern program (probably expecting loops and logic), but this student just hard-coded the exact output with print statements. It's like being asked to build a car and instead drawing a picture of one. Sure, it looks right from a distance, but the teacher's probably running after you with a failing grade right now. The bottom image perfectly captures that moment of realization when you've completely missed the educational purpose of the assignment but still expect full marks because "it works."

The entire tech industry is just a skyscraper of abstractions built on C. Modern developers happily live in their fancy penthouses of JavaScript frameworks and cloud services, blissfully unaware that some grumpy 70-year-old's pointer arithmetic from 1972 is keeping the lights on. One memory leak in that legacy C code and your Docker container orchestration falls faster than my will to live during a production outage.

Ah yes, the developer's soundtrack. When Spotify Wrapped comes out, normal people share their top pop hits while programmers just have a playlist that perfectly narrates their debugging journey. From "What the F*ck is Happening" to "I Think I'm Going To Kill Myself," with a sprinkle of "Indentation" problems and the classic "ERROR" on repeat. Nothing says "I code for a living" quite like having two instances of "Plus" back-to-back because you're desperately trying to concatenate strings at 3 AM. C programming gets its own dedicated track—appropriately "Untitled & Unfinished," just like that side project you abandoned six months ago.
