The evolution of programmer emotions in one perfect image. Novice programmer: arms raised in ecstatic disbelief that their code actually worked on the first try. Experienced programmer: suspicious squint and existential dread because code working on the first attempt is basically a warning sign that something is terribly wrong. When your code works immediately, it's not a miracle—it's the calm before the storm of 47 undiscovered bugs that will reveal themselves at 4:58pm on Friday. Trust issues with functional code is the true mark of a seasoned developer.

Oh. My. GOD. The eternal OS war continues! 💻 This meme is basically the tech version of a street gang declaration but with OPERATING SYSTEMS instead of territories! These brave souls have dramatically renounced Windows and pledged their undying loyalty to Linux like it's some kind of blood oath. The sheer AUDACITY of declaring your OS allegiance with such conviction! As if choosing between operating systems is the modern-day equivalent of picking sides in an epic battle. Meanwhile, Mac users are probably sipping their lattes somewhere wondering why these peasants are fighting over scraps when they could just sell a kidney for a MacBook. 🙄

I would assume based on context that a sacrifice is just ending a child process to save memory? Regardless, threading has some of the most messed up terminology for seemingly no reason. It's the only place where "killing orphans" or "zombie children" are normal terms permalink source embed save save-Res parent report give award reply hide child comments - TechCubeTetrabyte us 61 points 1 day ago Zombie children? Like, unaccounted for by the OS? permalink source embed save save-RES parent report give award reply hide child comments - Schnickatavick 128 points 1 day ago - It's a child process that finished its task and closed, but the parent process hasn't acknowledged it yet. It leaves it in this awkward state where it's terminated (dead) but it still has to hang around in memory (like a zombie) until the parent process can receive the child's "return" values, which let's the OS wipe it from memory, which is called reaping. Which is another messed up term, the OS is literally a "reaper" for dead processes? Who named this stuff? permalink source embed save saveRES parent report give award reply hide child comments - TerrorBite 55 points 1 day ago - The child itself has already died or been killed at that point; what isn't released yet is the child's entry in the PID table, as the return code (which the parent needs to read) needs to be stored somewhere. So the only thing the zombie process is taking up at that point, is a PID number and a few kB at most of metadata in the kernel. You can't kill a zombie process, because it's already dead. The only way to get rid of it is to kill the lazy parent; the zombie will then be re-parented to init, which will clean it up immediately.

The eternal Vim trap strikes again! Nothing quite like the cold sweat of realizing you're stuck in a text editor with seemingly no escape. The park ranger says "You cannot exit vim without proper keystrokes" - the digital equivalent of checking your hiking permit before letting you leave the wilderness. Meanwhile, seasoned Linux users smugly flash their "permit" - the sacred sudo shutdown command. It's the programming equivalent of bringing a bulldozer to a gardening competition. Sure, it works, but at what cost? Your unsaved changes send their regards from the void. For the uninitiated: Vim is that text editor your senior dev insists makes them 10x more productive, yet somehow they spend half their day configuring it. The classic escape sequence is :wq or :q! - but why remember that when you can just nuke your entire system?
