The Header Should Include Interface Only

DARLING, the computer said "Tell a programmer to up VERTEX_BUFFER_SIZE" and I am LITERALLY just the messenger! 💅 What am I supposed to do? Learn C++? Sacrifice my firstborn to the GPU gods? The error message has SPOKEN, and who am I—a mere mortal user—to question its divine wisdom? The audacity of this game engine thinking I have ANY idea what a "dynamic vertex buffer" is! It might as well have asked me to explain quantum physics while juggling flaming chainsaws. I'm just trying to play my game with friends named "asbestosmuncher" and "Cock of the Block" like any normal person!

The eternal dilemma of function design perfectly illustrated on an IQ bell curve. The low-IQ crowd (0.1%) and high-IQ geniuses (0.1%) agree: "Just add a new function." Meanwhile, the average devs (34%) in the middle are sweating bullets, desperately clinging to their sacred principle of code reuse: "NO WE SHOULD ADD ANOTHER PARAMETER AND REUSE CODE!" It's the horseshoe theory of programming - both extremes of the intelligence spectrum somehow reach the same conclusion while the "well-actually" crowd in the middle is busy creating those monstrous functions with 17 optional parameters, 9 of which are booleans. And they wonder why nobody wants to maintain their code...

Ah yes, the classic "my 1000-line C++ monstrosity is faster than your 10-line Python script" flex. Your C++ friend is standing there like a caveman who just discovered fire, proudly waving around their manually managed memory and pointer arithmetic while you're over there with Python like Dexter from Dexter's Laboratory, solving the same problem with elegant simplicity. Sure, their code runs 100x faster... after they spent 100x longer debugging segmentation faults and memory leaks. Meanwhile, you wrote your solution during your coffee break and went back to having an actual life. The real speed was the development time we saved along the way.

Looking at this dependency graph is like watching a murder mystery where every header file is both a victim and a suspect. The C++ include nightmare on full display here—a tangled web that would make even the most hardened senior dev reach for the whiskey drawer. Circular dependencies, cascading includes, and enough arrows to start a small archery business. And somewhere in this mess, a junior dev is about to add another header file and bring the whole 45-minute compile time to its knees. Remember kids, this is why we have forward declarations and precompiled headers. But who am I kidding? We'll all be debugging this spaghetti next sprint anyway.

When the assignment asks for a pattern algorithm but you just hardcode each line instead. The beauty of this solution is its brutal efficiency - why waste time figuring out the mathematical relationship when you can just printf() your way to freedom? The student running from the teacher represents that brief moment of panic when you realize your laziness might actually get you in trouble. But hey, it works. The code compiles. Ship it.

Oh. My. GOD! Someone finally made a meme about the most SCANDALOUS relationship in programming - logical operators and their dirty little word play! 💅 For the uninitiated (you sweet summer children), this is taking the word "orgasm" and applying different bitwise/logical operators to it: AND (bitwise conjunction) - only bits that are 1 in BOTH values remain XOR (exclusive OR) - when you're too good for regular OR and need bits that are in ONE BUT NOT BOTH values NAND (NOT AND) - because sometimes you need the EXACT OPPOSITE of AND, you rebellious thing! NOR (NOT OR) - when you're feeling extra negative and just want to say NO to everything XNOR (NOT XOR) - the drama queen of operators that's basically saying "I want us to be EITHER both 0 OR both 1, nothing in between!" I'm absolutely LIVING for this wordplay! The way programmers get excited about bitwise operations is the closest thing to passion most of them will ever experience!
