The One-Line Nightmare

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.

Ah, the "localization" approach that makes your code completely unreadable to everyone except the one person who thought this was a good idea. Nothing says "job security" like replacing standard C++ keywords with Chinese characters. Future maintainers will either need Google Translate or a strong drink. Probably both. The function at the bottom is just adding two numbers and returning the result. Could've been a one-liner, but now it's an international diplomatic incident waiting to happen during code review.

The classic programmer's transitive property. "If I know A and B, then I know C" logic taken to its absurd conclusion. Like claiming you're fluent in Italian because you once ate at Olive Garden. Next they'll say they know machine code because they touched a computer once. The confidence of someone who thinks programming languages are just Pokémon evolutions of each other.

Python errors are like a friendly golden retriever that gently tells you "Hey buddy, you forgot a colon on line 47!" while C++ errors are basically an eldritch horror creature screaming incomprehensible template metaprogramming gibberish at you about how you've violated seventeen different memory allocation rules and summoned demons into your codebase. And it won't even tell you which line number. The best part? The C++ error is probably just because you forgot a semicolon somewhere.

The irony of Bjarne Stroustrup—you know, just the guy who created C++ —having only one green square on his GitHub contribution graph is chef's kiss material. Recruiters everywhere are frantically updating their "red flags" documentation. Meanwhile, the person who invented the language that powers half the world's critical infrastructure would probably get auto-rejected by the ATS systems he helped make possible. Next interview question: "So, Mr. Stroustrup, what would you say you actually do here?"

The ultimate conspiracy theory has been revealed—programming is just a massive hoax! According to this groundbreaking exposé, we've all been duped. Computers were meant to solve math, not be programmed. C is clearly just a letter in the alphabet that got way too full of itself. And if you need to print something? Grab a pen like a normal human being! My favorite part is the claim that optimizing CPU usage with recursive threaded methods is "nonsensical" and "deranged." Well, excuse me for trying to make my code run 0.02% faster while consuming only 99.8% of available RAM! And the evidence is damning: colored text in terminals, compilation errors, and a teapot you can't even drink from. Clearly, if programming were real, someone would have figured out how to make while(true){print(money);} work by now. Checkmate, developers.
