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!

My Teacher Always Says: Do Your Project With Knowledge That Your User Is Stupid

Developer: "Tea bags are so intuitive they don't need instructions." End user: *dunks entire tea bag, wrapper and all, into hot water* And that's why we write documentation for even the most "obvious" features. Users will find ways to break your software that you couldn't imagine in your worst fever dreams. The line between intuitive and incomprehensible is thinner than your project deadline.

Meet Keith: The Unofficial C++ Mascot

Ah, the infamous "Keith the Rat" - C++'s unofficial mascot that perfectly embodies memory management in the language. Just like Keith is missing a limb, your program is probably missing proper pointer cleanup. The joke satirizes C++'s reputation for being powerful yet dangerous - where one wrong move with pointers can blow your application's leg clean off. And much like this diseased rodent, legacy C++ codebases often carry the infections of technical debt that nobody wants to touch. The attribution to Richard Stallman adds an extra layer of programming in-joke, as he's the GNU/free software crusader who would absolutely hate being associated with this monstrosity. Memory leaks, undefined behavior, and segmentation faults send their regards!

The Real Relationship Killer

Romance is cute and all, but have you ever spent 96 hours straight hunting down a missing semicolon? That compiler error keeping you up at night, chugging energy drinks while your bloodshot eyes scan 2,000 lines of code for the fifth time. And then—at hour 97—you find it hiding between two perfectly innocent statements. The sweet relief is better than any relationship could ever be. Until the next syntax error shows up tomorrow.
