C++ and Python walk into a bar. C++ asks Python its name, then immediately regrets the question when it realizes they're both programming languages with logos. Python starts crashing with segmentation faults while C++ descends into memory address hell. In the end, all Python can say is... "Python!" Meanwhile, C++ is still trying to print a string through 19 layers of pointer dereferencing. Just another day in language compatibility theater.

Future maintainers will spend hours deciphering what bm.prc() does while the original author smugly thinks they're being efficient by saving 17 keystrokes.

Your colleagues aren't mind readers, and neither is your future self at 2am during a production outage!

The evolution of commit messages is the programmer's descent into madness. First panel: "Bugfix" - the bare minimum effort when you just want to go home.

Fourth panel: "Lots of changes lol; Fixed low key sus double-jump yeeting players off map; also fire refactor of all movement physics fr" - the complete breakdown where you're mixing conventional commits with stream-of-consciousness ramblings and Gen Z slang. This is what happens at 3 AM when you've been debugging the same issue since yesterday and your brain is running on energy drinks and spite.
