My Body Is A Machine That Turns Working Code Into Segmentation Faults

C developers clutching their precious malloc() and free() functions like they're the last chocolate chip cookies on earth! 😱 Meanwhile, Rust is over here with its memory safety guarantees, and C devs are LOSING THEIR MINDS! "What do you MEAN I can't cause undefined behavior and segfaults anymore?! How will I express my ARTISTIC FREEDOM through dangling pointers?!" The sheer AUDACITY of Rust forcing developers to write code that doesn't randomly explode in production! THE HORROR!

That moment when your partner asks what's wrong and your brain is just replaying that time you put all your code in main.h instead of properly separating implementation and interface. Some sins can't be confessed to non-programmers. They wouldn't understand the weight we carry.

The duality of C++ developers confessing their sins. When the attractive dev with the C logo head admits to memory leaks, it's "awww, you're sweet" territory. But when the sweaty guy in a sweater vest does it? Straight to HR jail. Let's be honest, memory management is like dating - it's all about who's doing the allocating, not what's being allocated. The garbage collector can't save you from workplace discrimination.

Ah, the classic C++ compiler error that haunts every novice (and sometimes veteran) programmer! Forget to #include <vector> at the top of your file? Congratulations, you've just been vectored – ambushed by compiler errors more cryptic than ancient hieroglyphics. The compiler doesn't politely suggest "Hey friend, maybe add that header?" Instead, it unleashes 47 lines of template instantiation errors that basically translate to "I have no idea what a vector is, and at this point I'm too afraid to ask." It's like showing up to a fancy restaurant without a reservation and getting absolutely roasted by the host.

On the left: the verbose programmer who meticulously types out if(bool == false) with all those extra keystrokes, probably the same person who writes comments like "// increment i by 1" above i++ . On the right: the efficient programmer who uses if(!bool) because why waste precious milliseconds typing equality operators when the logical NOT operator does the exact same thing? This dev probably names variables like 'x' and finishes week-long projects in a day. Both snippets are functionally identical, but the right side just screams "I know what I'm doing and I value my wrist health."

The funeral for C/C++ has been announced prematurely for decades now. Every few years, some shiny new language comes along and declares itself the "C++ killer" while C++ just smirks from its grave and continues powering literally everything from operating systems to game engines. Meanwhile, C/C++ developers are just chilling next to their own tombstone like "Oh no... anyway" while counting the performance gains their manual memory management provides. The language might be older than most developers using it, but it refuses to die with the stubbornness of that one legacy codebase no one wants to refactor.
