Who Would Have Thunk?

The eternal computer science debate that makes absolutely no sense to normal humans: endianness. On the left, the logical person crying because "end" should refer to what comes last (little-endian should be MSB first). On the right, Danny Cohen smugly enjoying the chaos he created by naming it backwards - where "big end" refers to the most significant byte coming first. For the uninitiated: endianness determines how multi-byte values are stored in memory. It's like arguing whether to read a number from left-to-right or right-to-left, except we've been fighting about it since the 1980s and nobody will ever surrender.

The ultimate "don't touch my stuff" starter pack for Linux elitists! Split keyboards, weird ergonomic mice, and the Arch Linux logo - because nothing says "I'm better than you" quite like a setup that requires a PhD to understand. Arch users have mastered the art of making their computers so intimidating that no one dares ask to check their email on it. Smart move - saves them from having to explain why they spent 3 days configuring a desktop that still occasionally crashes when they try to print something.

The sweet, sweet euphoria when your assembly code finally compiles after hours of manually managing registers and memory addresses. Nothing quite matches that "org.asm" feeling—a play on words that needs no explanation for anyone who's survived the trenches of low-level programming. It's the digital equivalent of solving a Rubik's cube blindfolded while riding a unicycle. The rest of us are writing in Python while assembly programmers are basically performing brain surgery with tweezers.

OMG, the AUDACITY of some developers! 💀 Instead of fixing their horrifically inefficient spaghetti code, they just throw more RAM and faster CPUs at the problem like that's going to save their algorithmic sins! Honey, your O(n²) monstrosity isn't going to magically become O(log n) just because you bought a shiny new processor. It's like putting a Ferrari engine in a shopping cart and expecting it to win Formula 1. The hardware might be faster, but your code is still a dumpster fire wrapped in a tragedy!

Ah, the elusive A: drive. For the younger devs who've never experienced the joy of floppy disks, the A: drive was the default letter for that ancient 3.5" data rectangle that stored a whopping 1.44MB. That's right—not GB, not even MB—just 1.44MB. You could fit approximately one-third of a modern JavaScript framework's readme file on there. These days, most computers don't even have physical drive letters anymore, just abstract mount points that hide in the shadows like well-documented code.

Oh. My. GAWD. The absolute TRUTH BOMB of developer economics! 💸 On the left, a glorious $3000+ gaming laptop with enough RGB to signal aliens, dual screens, and specs that could probably launch a rocket. On the right? A sad little jalopy that's one pothole away from becoming modern art. Because PRIORITIES, honey! Why have reliable transportation when you can compile code 0.002 seconds faster?! The car might get you to work, but that laptop IS your work, your entertainment center, and probably your emotional support device all rolled into one magnificent machine. Who needs a functioning vehicle when you've got 64GB of RAM?!
