Do You Mean Unemployment

The kid asks for a io.EOF , mom says they have io.EOF at home. But at home? Just a goto statement lying on the bed. Classic Golang error handling bait and switch. The real crime here isn't the error handling—it's that someone's teaching their kid to use goto instead of proper error patterns. That's how you raise a future legacy code maintainer.

Ah, the eternal MM/DD/YYYY vs. DD/MM/YYYY war continues! Some poor developer at Go actually documented their timestamp format with a confession that using the American date format was "a regrettable historic error." This is what happens when you let Americans design date formats—they put the month first like savages, and then the rest of the world has to suffer for eternity. Every international developer's nightmare is hardcoded into Go's RFC3339 constant, forever enshrined in programming history. The date format rebellion is real, and this developer's passive-aggressive documentation is the silent scream of everyone who's ever had to parse dates across different locales. ISO 8601 (YYYY-MM-DD) gang rise up!

Ah, the classic programmer identity crisis. Someone asked for the most useful programming languages for 2025 and got Swift, C++, Go, and JavaScript mixed in with French, Japanese, Arabic, and German. Guess the algorithm can't tell the difference between talking to computers and talking to humans. Probably trained on Stack Overflow comments where both are equally incomprehensible. At least they didn't recommend COBOL - that would've been a real sign of AI hallucination.

Golang's error handling is like that one friend who blames everyone but themselves. "No no, it's not YOUR mistake, it's clearly Rob Pike's fault." The language literally built passive-aggressive error messages into its compiler. Next time your code fails, just remember - somewhere Rob Pike is getting a notification.

Ah, the classic "C/C++ is dead" narrative that's been circulating since approximately the Jurassic period. This meme perfectly captures the eternal resilience of C/C++ despite countless obituaries written by trendy language evangelists. Every few years, some shiny new language comes along promising to be the "C++ killer" - yet there's C/C++, smugly posing next to its own grave, refusing to die. Meanwhile, critical infrastructure, operating systems, game engines, and performance-critical applications are still running on these supposedly "ancient" languages. The smirk says it all: "Nice try, Rust/Go/whatever... I've been declared dead more times than a soap opera villain, and I'm still powering the world while you're trying to figure out your package manager."

When you want to try that shiny new framework but management says "we already have frameworks at home." The orange crabs are Rust - elegant, memory-safe, and actually useful. The bug-eyed gophers at home? That's the legacy codebase written in whatever language the previous dev thought was cool in 2011. Every developer knows this pain. You're eyeing those sweet new technologies while maintaining five different versions of the same app because "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" is tattooed on your CTO's forehead.
