Is It All C? (Always Has Been)

Ah, the age-old programmer dilemma keeping this poor soul awake at night. While his partner assumes he's mentally wandering to other romantic possibilities, he's actually spiraling down the rabbit hole of C programming semantics. Creating a struct within a struct is indeed just standard composition, not construction. But at 3 AM, these linguistic nuances feel like existential crises. The real relationship problem here isn't infidelity—it's his inability to stop debugging even in bed.

The eternal cycle of C++ development: write code, crash with segfault, blame the language. For the uninitiated, a segfault (segmentation fault) happens when your program tries to access memory it shouldn't—like dereferencing a null pointer or accessing an array out of bounds. But instead of debugging our pointer arithmetic or fixing our memory management, it's obviously C++'s fault for not having garbage collection like those civilized languages. The Mario-style piranha plant of truth awaits any programmer humble enough to admit they're the problem!

THE AUDACITY! I literally just declared a variable—JUST NOW—and the compiler is already throwing a tantrum like an overprotective parent?! 🙄 "What would you say you do here?" EXCUSE ME?! I'm still TYPING, you impatient digital dictator! Heaven forbid I get more than 0.16 SECONDS to finish my thought before you start questioning my entire existence as a programmer! This is why developers have trust issues and caffeine addictions, people!

When someone claims they "use C++ in JavaScript," you expect some horrifying abomination of code. But then they show a basic for loop with C++ style increment (c++) and suddenly everyone's laughing because it's the most innocent dad joke in programming history. It's like telling people you know kung fu and then just waving your arms around making "whoosh" sounds. The audacity of this pun deserves both a standing ovation and immediate revocation of coding privileges.

The eternal "composition vs inheritance" debate strikes again! Every junior dev has experienced that moment when they proudly present an inheritance-based solution only to have some senior dev smugly respond "just use composition" without elaborating further. The monkey puppet meme perfectly captures that awkward side-eye moment when you realize they've given you zero practical guidance for your specific use case. It's the programming equivalent of saying "git gud" instead of actually helping someone debug.

The ultimate programming double entendre! A building with a "STOP RUST" sign that was clearly meant for metal corrosion, but has become an unintentional declaration of war against the Rust programming language. Somewhere a C++ developer is nodding vigorously while hanging this poster in their cubicle. Meanwhile, Rust developers are organizing a protest outside this building with signs that read "MEMORY LEAKS KILL" and "SEGMENTATION FAULT: CORE DUMPED." The programming language holy wars have officially spilled into real estate.
