Unrelated Friends: The C# And VB.net Awkward Reunion

The eternal suffering of forgetting to add break statements in switch cases. The code just keeps on executing through every subsequent case like it's on a mission to ruin your day. And then you spend three hours debugging why your function is returning seventeen different values when it should only return one. The worst part? The compiler sits there silently judging you instead of throwing a warning. Thanks for nothing, compiler.

The eternal divide between programmers and mathematicians in one perfect meme. In programming, "2!=2" is checking if 2 is not equal to 2 (which is false, so "No"). But in math, "2!" means factorial of 2, which equals 2, making the statement true ("Yes"). This is why programmers should never date mathematicians. Dinner conversations would be a nightmare. "Hey, could you pass the salt?" "No, because that's syntactically ambiguous and I'm interpreting it as a boolean expression."

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 CS student who's discovered that mentioning "MONEY" 12 times in one post is somehow a personality trait. Classic case of someone who picked Computer Science solely for the salary but hasn't yet realized they'll need to actually write code for 40 years to earn it. The real flex will be when they discover their first debugging session lasts longer than their entire college career. Nothing says "future tech lead material" like someone who thinks they'll waltz into a $200k job without caring about the actual work. Spoiler alert: the people making that kind of money actually enjoy solving problems beyond "how to get more money."

WHAT IN THE BOOLEAN LOGIC NIGHTMARE IS THIS?! 🤯 Someone created a function called CompareBooleansEqual that calls AreBooleansEqual ... which returns false when values ARE equal and true when they're NOT! It's like building a fire alarm that screams "ALL CLEAR!" during an actual fire! Whoever wrote this probably also labels their sugar container as "salt" and vice versa. No wonder the dev needs a drink - I need the entire liquor store after seeing this code abomination!

The three stages of variable naming in every developer's career: Top: camelCase - One hump for each word. Simple, elegant, industry standard. Middle: PascalCase - Like camelCase but with an ego. Every word gets to start with a capital letter. Bottom: snake_case - For when you're slithering through code at 3am and can't be bothered to reach for the shift key. And somewhere, not pictured: kebab-case - The naming convention that didn't make it into the suitcase.
