The Segfault Blame Game

The universal hatred for CMake transcends all intelligence levels! The meme shows an IQ bell curve with people at every point—from 55 to 145—united in their collective trauma of writing CMakeLists.txt files at 3AM while sobbing uncontrollably. The "well ackchyually" guy at the bottom represents that one teammate who claims to understand CMake but still copy-pastes from StackOverflow like the rest of us. Nothing brings C++ developers together like the shared existential dread of finding yourself in dependency hell with zero documentation. It's the build system we all use and absolutely nobody enjoys!

The desperate plea of every C++ senior developer who's died inside after finding yet another memory leak that static analysis would have caught three months ago. Meanwhile, the junior devs are gesturing wildly with excuses like "but it compiles fine" and "we don't have time for that." The codebase is probably one segfault away from summoning demons through the stack overflow portal.

Evolution of programmer enlightenment: starts with Python (basic brain), progresses through Java (slightly lit brain), then C++ (glowing brain), followed by Scratch (cosmic brain), and finally... Minecraft command blocks (transcendent alien being). Nothing says "I've reached programming nirvana" like crafting complex algorithms with blocks meant for 10-year-olds. The supreme irony of the programming world: spend years mastering memory management in C++ only to realize the true galaxy-brain move is coding with pictures of cats and literal blocks. If you've ever built a working CPU in Minecraft, you're not a programmer anymore—you're basically a deity. The rest of us mortals will continue pretending our Python scripts are impressive.

Oh my gosh, this is every C programmer's nightmare! 😱 C libraries screaming at thread safety is like watching Tom from Tom & Jerry discover that the cheese is actually a mousetrap! We technically know we should handle thread safety properly, but then we're like "my single-threaded prototype works fine, why would I complicate things?" Fast forward to production where mysterious bugs appear at 3 AM and suddenly we're questioning our entire career choices! The number of times I've written "// TODO: make thread-safe" and then completely forgotten about it is... well, let's just say it's a personal attack at this point! 🙈

When your CS professor says "no laptops for the exam" and you have to write C code like it's 1972. The hand cramps! The smudged headers! The inability to Ctrl+Z when you realize your file handling logic is completely broken! Nothing says "I'm a real programmer" like debugging pointer arithmetic with an actual quill pen while silently praying your struct alignment is correct. Medieval debugging at its finest.

Eight hours of programming? Just another Tuesday. Eight hours of debugging that missing semicolon? Time moves differently in that realm. It's like entering a black hole where minutes stretch into years and your soul slowly leaves your body with each console error. The worst part? You'll eventually find it, stare at it for 10 seconds, and question your career choices.
