You Got A Point(er)

The eternal C++ struggle summed up in one painful exchange. You spend an hour debugging a function that seemingly does nothing, only to realize the horrifying truth - you never actually called it. Just declared it and walked away like it would magically execute itself. The worst part? This happens to 10-year veterans as often as day-one beginners. Nothing quite matches that special feeling of wanting to throw your mechanical keyboard through a window after realizing your carefully crafted game physics engine isn't running because you forgot the parentheses.

OH. MY. GOD. The AUDACITY of this C programmer flexing their ability to write "Hello World" without including the standard I/O library! 😱 For the uninitiated peasants: in C programming, #include <stdio.h> is basically THE library you need to do basic input/output operations like printing text. Writing code without it is like showing up to a gunfight with a homemade slingshot that YOU BUILT FROM SCRATCH. The other fish is just DESTROYED by this flex. Absolutely annihilated. This is the programming equivalent of someone casually mentioning they climbed Everest "on their lunch break." Pure savagery in the C programming world!

Ah, the classic programmer identity crisis. Someone asked for the most useful programming languages for 2025 and got Swift, C++, Go, and JavaScript mixed in with French, Japanese, Arabic, and German. Guess the algorithm can't tell the difference between talking to computers and talking to humans. Probably trained on Stack Overflow comments where both are equally incomprehensible. At least they didn't recommend COBOL - that would've been a real sign of AI hallucination.

The evolution of function naming clarity across programming languages! The meme shows how the same concept gets progressively mangled: JavaScript: Beautiful, clean promptUserAndCloseProgram() function declaration. Python: Still readable with snake_case prompt_user_and_close_program() . Java: Verbose but understandable public static void promptUserAndCloseProgram() . C++: Complete descent into madness with nStC* pmptusrnclxprg(nStC* stcd) - vowels? Who needs 'em! Readability? Never heard of it! It's the programmer's journey from "I write self-documenting code" to "I'll remember what this does" to "what the heck did I write last week?"

Someone just discovered the increment operator and thinks they're a language polyglot now. The meme shows a guy bragging about using "C++" in JavaScript, but all he's doing is using a standard for loop with c++ as the increment statement. That's like saying you speak French because you can say "croissant" while ordering at Starbucks. The violent reaction in the bottom panel is the only appropriate response to such heresy.

DARLING, the AUDACITY of comparing Object-Oriented Programming to communism is just *chef's kiss* MAGNIFICENT! 💅 OOP promises us this UTOPIAN DREAMLAND of beautiful encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism—a coding PARADISE where everything is neatly organized and maintainable! The FANTASY! The ROMANCE! But then reality SLAPS US IN THE FACE with inheritance hierarchies deeper than my existential crisis, design patterns more convoluted than my love life, and codebases so bloated they need their own ZIP code! And poor Jesse's face at the end? That's LITERALLY every functional programmer when an OOP evangelist starts preaching about their "elegant solutions." HONEY, THE DRAMA! 💀
