The Algorithmic Sacrifice

When your therapist tries to reassure you about imaginary programming languages, but then Brazilian C shows up with incluir <espadrao.h> , vazio principal() , and escrevef("Olá Mundo!"); . It's like regular C had a wild weekend in Rio and came back speaking Portuguese. The function names are literally just translated versions of standard C - "incluir" instead of "include", "vazio" instead of "void", "principal" instead of "main". The real horror isn't that Brazilian C exists—it's that part of you immediately understood it. Seven years of debugging regular C and now you're fluent in its international variants too. Great.

When your IDE documentation is just ASCII art instead of actual descriptions. The developer who made this struct literally drew a 3D cube in code comments instead of writing proper documentation. Then labeled the vertices A-H and called it a day. Pure chaotic genius! Bonus points for the struct being named "CubeInt" which somehow makes it both obvious and completely unhelpful at the same time. Who needs formal documentation when you can just sketch it out in ASCII?

The evolution of a C++ developer's formatting skills in one perfect image. Top panel: the prehistoric way of formatting output with printf() and those cryptic format specifiers that feel like deciphering ancient hieroglyphics. Bottom panel: the enlightened approach using C++ streams with all those fancy manipulators that make your code look like you're conducting a symphony orchestra. It's like going from "I bash rocks together to make fire" to "I adjust the temperature on my smart thermostat with voice commands." Progress!

Oh snap! This is Boolean variables in their natural habitat - doing the splits between TRUE and FALSE with absolutely no middle ground! Just like this person on the subway bench stretching into oblivion, booleans only know two states: completely true or utterly false. No "kinda true" or "sorta false" allowed in their binary world! They're the drama queens of programming - always dealing in absolutes while the rest of us float-type variables are just trying to exist somewhere in the decimal points of life.

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.

HTML snuggled between actual programming languages like a cat between loaves of bread is the most accurate thing I've seen all week. Just chilling there with its markup tags, no variables, no functions, no compiler... yet somehow still invited to all the dev conferences. It's like that friend who can't code but still gets included in all the technical discussions because they bring snacks. "What's that? You can't handle logic? It's fine, you make pretty buttons."
