Should I tell Her

The build tool hierarchy according to C++ developers! BSD Make gets a mild "meh" reaction. GNU Make earns a fancy tuxedo upgrade and approving smile. But NMAKE? That's Microsoft's Windows build tool that makes Pooh show his teeth in pure rage. It's the compiler equivalent of stepping on a LEGO while debugging a memory leak at 3AM. The perfect visual representation of why developers would rather rewrite their entire codebase than deal with Visual Studio's native build system.

One brave Rust enthusiast standing alone against the massive horde of C and C++ programmers, boldly declaring "Yes, you all are wrong." It's basically the programming language equivalent of bringing a memory-safe knife to a buffer overflow gunfight. The audacity! The sheer confidence of that one Rust dev thinking their fancy ownership model and zero-cost abstractions will convince thousands of battle-hardened pointer-arithmetic veterans who've been manually managing memory since before Rust was a speck of oxidation on Graydon Hoare's keyboard.

Ah, the classic programmer's solution to avoiding C and Rust—just go for pizza instead! After 15 years in the industry, I've learned that sometimes the best programming language is whatever's on the menu. Memory management giving you nightmares? Pointer errors making you question your career choices? Just order a Margherita and pretend those problems don't exist. The pizza-driven development methodology: where the only garbage collection you need to worry about is clearing your plate.

The duality of programmer brain function is hilariously accurate here. For regular variables, it's absolute chaos - fighting over whether to use temp , result , or just mash the keyboard with myVar . But for iteration variables? The council has convened and unanimously decreed: "We shall use 'i' and nothing else." The formal ceremony of loop counter naming has remained unchanged since the ancient days of FORTRAN. Bonus points if you graduate to j for nested loops while feeling incredibly sophisticated.

From serious programmers to anime-obsessed weebs in one textbook. The legendary K&R C book doesn't just teach you pointers and memory management—it apparently transforms you into a completely different species. Nothing says "I've mastered undefined behavior" quite like abandoning reality for cat-girl waifus. The pipeline from segmentation faults to questionable body pillows is shorter than we'd like to admit. And they say C isn't object-oriented!

Regular developers measure performance in milliseconds or microseconds because that's what modern tools show them. Meanwhile, the true optimization psychopaths are counting individual CPU clock cycles like it's 1982. They're the ones rewriting entire functions in assembly just to save 3 cycles in a loop that runs twice a day. The difference between "fast enough" and "I need to know exactly how many nanoseconds each instruction takes."
