The Macro Demon's Playground

Romance is cute and all, but have you ever spent 96 hours straight hunting down a missing semicolon? That compiler error keeping you up at night, chugging energy drinks while your bloodshot eyes scan 2,000 lines of code for the fifth time. And then—at hour 97—you find it hiding between two perfectly innocent statements. The sweet relief is better than any relationship could ever be. Until the next syntax error shows up tomorrow.

That moment when you realize the "Learn C++ in One Video" tutorial is 35,040 minutes long. That's 584 hours or 24 straight days of pointers, memory management, and template metaprogramming. The initial excitement followed by the crushing reality that mastering C++ is basically a full-time job. Might as well apply for social security benefits before you finish watching.

Oh. My. GOD! That moment of sheer PANIC when the compiler is screaming about line 20, and you're sitting there counting your pathetic 12 lines of code like a MANIAC! Is it counting my comments? My whitespace? MY WILL TO LIVE?! The emotional rollercoaster from abject horror to hysterical laughter is just *chef's kiss*. Nothing says "I've lost control of my life" quite like debugging phantom code that doesn't even EXIST! It's like being told there's a spider on your back when you're LITERALLY NAKED. The audacity of these compilers, I swear!

The dad jokes have officially infiltrated the programming community! "Sea Plus Plus" is what happens when programmers go to the beach and can't stop thinking about code. It's probably object-oriented too, with waves inheriting properties from the tide class. Rumor has it the garbage collection is terrible though - just look at all that plastic floating around. Must be running on a single thread since it never crashes despite all the bugs in it.

Oh look, another Rust evangelist has cornered you at the water cooler. The number "18464028364921" isn't random—it's approximately how many times you've heard someone preach about Rust's memory safety while you're just trying to write your C++ in peace. That gun-to-head feeling is the exact sensation when someone starts their fifth lecture about how Rust prevents null pointer dereferences while you're mentally calculating how much time you've wasted listening instead of shipping code. Sure, memory safety is nice, but so is being left alone with your segmentation faults and pointer arithmetic.

Ah yes, the revolutionary O(n) sorting algorithm that's "faster than merge sort" — just ask the user to input an already sorted array. Genius level problem-solving right there. This is the coding equivalent of claiming you've invented a teleportation device when you're actually just telling people to walk to their destination. The real innovation is the sheer audacity.
