The thousand-yard stare says it all. Behind every "self-taught developer" is just an endless cycle of desperate Google searches, Stack Overflow copy-pasting, and that moment when your code finally works but you're not entirely sure why. The traumatic flashbacks of 3 AM debugging sessions where you've gone from "I'll just fix this one bug" to questioning your entire career choice. That wide-eyed expression isn't excitement—it's the permanent mark left by staring into the void of documentation that somehow explains everything except the exact problem you're having.

The eternal mystery of copy-paste programming: you copied it exactly the same, yet somehow it refuses to work. Is it invisible whitespace? A missing semicolon? Or perhaps the teacher deliberately included a subtle trap to catch the copy-cats? That confused cat stare perfectly captures the existential crisis of staring at identical code that somehow produces different results. The digital equivalent of copying someone's test answers only to discover you've both failed but in completely different ways.

The corporate ladder? Pfft. The real career hack is introducing catastrophic bugs and then heroically "discovering" them through the bounty program. Why slave away for years climbing the ranks when you can just create the problem you're paid to solve? It's like arson for firefighters, but with better stock options. The ultimate insider trading that somehow passes legal scrutiny. Just don't get caught or you'll be enjoying a different kind of "remote work" - the kind with prison WiFi.

Content TOP DEFINITION C f S A programming language for Real Men. Most languages try to provide a simplified way to solve specific problems well. C makes no such concession and tries to be mediocre at everything. It lets you program at a very high level, and a very low level in the same program. It lets you write procedural code, object oriented code, generic code and mix them all up. It makes you decide everything and provides no help if you get it wrong. It is by far the biggest, most complicated, ugly, down-right dangerous language you can use. But it does run fast. It takes at least twice as long to program in C as any other major language (except C). The men who program in C are Real Men. The women who program in C are Real Men too. You can spot a C programmer from their testosterone fueled swagger, and the unbelievable amount of contempt they inject into the phrase Java "programmer". They'll probably do the air quotes and all. Dev: 'Hey, Reg, you know C right?
