Say Hi In Your Mother Language

Someone wants to overload the == operator for value comparison instead of reference comparison. Java, being Java, has a complete meltdown because that would be "abuse." Meanwhile, C++ just shrugs and says "go ahead" when asked about overloading the & operator to nuke an object's internal data. Java protects you from yourself by refusing operator overloading entirely. C++ hands you a loaded footgun and a blindfold, then walks away whistling. One language thinks you're a child who can't be trusted with scissors. The other assumes you're a responsible adult who definitely won't use operator overloading to create cursed abominations that make code reviewers weep. Spoiler: C++ is wrong about you being responsible.

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.

Programming languages are just fruit with "Hello World" stickers slapped on them, and we're all toddlers crawling around grabbing whichever one catches our eye first. Python's that one fruit your mom convinced you to try because "it's easier to digest." Meanwhile, JavaScript, Java, C++, and PHP are just sitting there, waiting for you to grow up and experience real indigestion.

Pure evil has a new form: replacing semicolons with Greek question marks. They look identical (U+003B vs U+037E) but will break your code in spectacular ways. But why stop there? The real psychopath move is redefining fundamental programming constructs like true , false , if , and while . Nothing says "I hate you" quite like making someone debug code where the universe's basic laws no longer apply. Satan himself takes notes on this level of torment.

The evolution of C-based languages depicted through increasingly intense reactions. C is met with boredom. C++ sparks interest. C# triggers excitement. Then we hit whatever unholy abomination C with a snowflake is supposed to be, causing brain meltdown. Finally, C with a tesseract dimension cube transforms our developer into a transcendent being who can see through time and space. Classic progression from "I can code" to "I have become one with the compiler."

Someone updated that drowning counter with count++ instead of ++count and now zero people have drowned wearing lifejackets. Technically correct is the best kind of correct, right? The sign maker probably tested it once, saw it worked, shipped it to production, and went home early. Meanwhile, the lifejacket stat is sitting there at zero like "not my problem." Fun fact: The difference between i++ and ++i has caused more bugs than anyone wants to admit. Post-increment returns the value THEN increments it, while pre-increment does it the other way around. It's the programming equivalent of putting your shoes on before your socks—technically you did both things, just in the wrong order.
