Be Wary Of Gary's Modern C# Wizardry

The perfect illustration of every Rust evangelist's nightmare - someone who's perfectly content with their "inferior" programming language. The gray NPC face getting increasingly angry at someone who dares to be satisfied with their current performance is peak programming tribalism. It's like telling a CrossFit enthusiast you're happy with your occasional jog around the block. The audacity! How DARE you be content when there's memory safety and blazing speed to be had?! Next thing you'll tell me is that you don't even care about zero-cost abstractions!

Ah yes, the classic startup "opportunity" where you can trade actual money for the possibility of future money! The red flag is so big it could guide ships through fog. Translation: "We can't afford developers but we're pretty sure our idea is the next Facebook. Trust us, bro." Zero applicants after three weeks? Shocking! Almost as if professional developers enjoy paying rent and buying food. The audacity of calling unpaid work a "stake in our future" instead of what it really is—gambling with your time.

Saved $50,000 in student loans with this one weird trick. CS professors hate it. The meme explains OOP concepts better than most textbooks: Encapsulation: Veggies with privacy levels labeled. Private parts stay hidden, public interfaces say hello. Just like your code should work. Polymorphism: Spider-Men pointing at each other. Same interface, different implementations. The perfect metaphor doesn't exi— Inheritance: Father and son. Kid inherits dad's traits and probably his debugging skills too. Abstraction: Half a person behind a pole. You don't need to see the whole implementation, just the interface. Like most APIs we pretend to understand.

When you ask for a 32-bit integer but the judge gives you a signed one. That ~32,768 years sentence is suspiciously close to 2^15, which is exactly what happens when you overflow a signed 16-bit integer. The criminal probably wanted an unsigned int that goes up to 65,535, but instead got the negative range too. Classic rookie mistake. Should've specified the data type in the plea bargain.

The joke here is a brilliant collision of computer science concepts and nightlife. When the professor asks if they "strip breadth first or depth first" - they're referencing two fundamental tree traversal algorithms, but with a strip club twist. Meanwhile, our CS major was too busy "vibe coding" (writing whatever code feels right without planning) to notice the algorithms joke. Perfectly captures how CS students can be simultaneously clueless about social situations yet completely absorbed in their own coding world. The real punchline is that both people are speaking different languages while technically discussing the same field.

Ah, the eternal naming convention war presented as a scholarly lecture. The first variable name struts around in camelCase (first word lowercase, subsequent words capitalized), while the second flaunts its PascalCase elegance (all words capitalized). Meanwhile, developers in the audience are silently judging each other's preferences while pretending their chosen style is objectively superior. The real joke? We'll spend 45 minutes arguing about this in code reviews but accept variable names like 'x' and 'temp' without blinking.
