It Only Took 34 Minutes

The code shows a simple function to add two numbers, then a recursive monstrosity that calls itself with the result. Meanwhile, Hollywood thinks this basic arithmetic is somehow "PLANTING MALWARE." This is peak r/itsaunixsystem material. Somewhere, a technical consultant is crying into their keyboard while a director proudly declares "make it more hackery!" The function literally just returns x + y, but apparently that's enough to bring down the Pentagon in movie logic. Next up: using a for loop will launch nuclear missiles, and printing "Hello World" will erase all student loan debt.

The Church of Open Source has quite the congregation. The prophet? Richard Stallman, with his flowing locks and GNU gospel. The Bible? The legendary K&R C Programming book that's baptized generations of developers. The altar? That standing desk where we've all sacrificed countless hours debugging. And the God? Tux the Linux penguin, obviously—the deity who never crashes (just occasionally requires a sacrifice of obscure terminal commands). I've been worshipping at this church for 20 years, and let me tell you, the prayers sound suspiciously like Stack Overflow questions. "Dear Tux, why the hell is my pointer arithmetic causing segfaults? I swear I'll never use global variables again if you just fix this build."

The meme starts all noble with "STOP making fun of different programming languages" and then proceeds to give each language a compliment... except JavaScript. Poor JavaScript just sits there, nameless and attributeless, like that one kid nobody picked for dodgeball. The irony is delicious - in a post preaching language tolerance, JavaScript gets the digital equivalent of "...and you're also here I guess." Clearly whoever made this meme has spent one too many nights debugging callback hell and now has trust issues.

That moment when your brilliant reference to abstract factory patterns falls completely flat at a party. Their vacant stare is just their brain trying to access memory that doesn't exist. Meanwhile, you're standing there wondering if you should recompile the conversation or just accept the runtime error and move on with your life.

The irony of Bjarne Stroustrup—you know, just the guy who created C++ —having only one green square on his GitHub contribution graph is chef's kiss material. Recruiters everywhere are frantically updating their "red flags" documentation. Meanwhile, the person who invented the language that powers half the world's critical infrastructure would probably get auto-rejected by the ATS systems he helped make possible. Next interview question: "So, Mr. Stroustrup, what would you say you actually do here?"

HONEY, HOLD MY KEYBOARD! 💅 This is the ULTIMATE programming language personality chart that's hitting wayyy too close to home! C just casually strolls from problem to solution like it's taking a Sunday walk. Python's like "why reinvent the wheel when I can just import someone else's?" And Bash? Just throw every command in existence at the problem until something sticks! Poor PHP doesn't even get a solution (which is honestly SO on brand). C++ creates 11 MORE problems with every solution because OF COURSE IT DOES. Rust gives you solutions with side effects that'll haunt your dreams. And then there's JavaScript... SWEET MOTHER OF DOM MANIPULATION! It's not just a language, it's a WHOLE ECOSYSTEM OF CHAOS where one problem spawns an INFINITE HELLSCAPE of nested problems! JavaScript doesn't solve bugs - it turns them into FRAMEWORK OPPORTUNITIES! 💀
