The ultimate C programming trauma in six panels! When Patrick says "I don't like C," Squidward immediately diagnoses this as pointer-phobia, while SpongeBob desperately tries to defend Patrick's dignity. But then Patrick commits the cardinal sin—declaring a pointer variable with int *y = &x; —proving he actually understands pointers perfectly fine! It's like someone saying they're afraid of heights while casually tightrope walking between skyscrapers. The memory management PTSD is real, folks—we've all pretended to hate pointers while secretly using them like pros.

When someone claims they're "good in C," but their idea of writing code is literally arranging the letter 'c' to spell "Hello World." That's like saying you're fluent in Spanish because you can order a burrito at Chipotle. The painful irony is that actual C "Hello World" is just a few lines that any first-year student could Google in 5 seconds: #include <stdio.h> int main() { printf("Hello World"); return 0; } Yet here we are, watching someone flex their ASCII art skills instead of basic syntax knowledge. Classic interview self-destruction.

The perfect response doesn't exi-- When someone asks you to say "hi" in your mother language and you're a C++ developer, there's only one correct answer: a perfectly formatted "Hello World" program. This dev skipped all the pleasantries and went straight for std::cout << "Hi!" << std::endl; because let's face it, semicolons are basically punctuation marks in a programmer's native tongue. The username "Im_Not_GlaDOS" makes it even better - clearly someone who speaks fluent machine but is definitely not a homicidal AI.

The mysterious phenomenon of code quality instantly transforming when someone glances at your screen! One second you're doing pointer arithmetic that would make Linus Torvalds cry, with bitwise operations and hexadecimal values that look like you fell asleep on the keyboard. Then the moment a coworker peeks over—BOOM—your code magically transforms into a pristine if-else statement that even an intern could understand. It's like quantum code: the mere act of being observed collapses all your hacky solutions into clean, readable logic. The programming version of cleaning your room only when guests come over!

The C++ Committee gets a gold medal for creating the most complex language standard that somehow keeps getting more convoluted with each revision. Meanwhile, the guy celebrating with champagne and screaming at a simple "Hello World" print statement is the perfect representation of C++ developers who've spent 6 hours debugging template metaprogramming only to realize they forgot a semicolon. The bottom panel delivers the killing blow - while other programming languages stand proudly on their podiums, evolving gracefully and gaining adoption, C++ is over there chugging champagne and making a mess, still convinced it's the superior choice despite scaring away new developers faster than a segmentation fault at runtime. And yet... we'll still be wrestling with pointer arithmetic and undefined behavior in 2053. The language that refuses to die gracefully!

Microsoft Azure CTO declares C and C++ should be "deprecated" while his entire company runs on it. That's like a fish suggesting water is overrated. Next up: Windows will run on thoughts and prayers instead of kernel code. Meanwhile, Linux kernel devs, game engine programmers, and embedded systems engineers just collectively rolled their eyes so hard they saw their own brain stems.
