The Copy-Paste Conspiracy

That moment when you copy-paste the instructor's code and it still doesn't work. Is it the invisible spaces? The quotation marks? The cosmic alignment of semicolons? The cat's expression perfectly captures that mix of confusion and betrayal when your IDE lights up with errors despite following instructions exactly. Pro tip: teachers sometimes deliberately include subtle errors in their examples to see who's actually typing the code themselves versus who's just copying. Sneaky, but effective!

Three D Donut In C Tastes Good

Non-programmers think we're building fancy 3D holograms of the Earth like we're some kind of tech wizards from a sci-fi movie. Meanwhile, the reality is us hunched over terminals writing ASCII donut code at 3AM, fueled by energy drinks and existential dread. The pinnacle of our achievement? Making a spinning donut in C that looks like it was rendered on a calculator from 1982. And we're absurdly proud of it. The gap between perception and reality has never been wider—or more delicious.

Every Workaround Ever

Ah, the classic "// TODO: remove when no longer needed" followed by a roof built around a ladder instead of removing it. This is peak developer energy! Just like that temporary fix from 2016 that's now somehow a critical part of your production infrastructure. The comment might as well say "// TODO: remove when hell freezes over" because we all know that ladder is staying there until the building collapses. Technical debt with physical manifestation!
