C-vs-cpp Memes

The evolution of a C++ developer's formatting skills in one perfect image. Top panel: the prehistoric way of formatting output with printf() and those cryptic format specifiers that feel like deciphering ancient hieroglyphics.

It's like going from "I bash rocks together to make fire" to "I adjust the temperature on my smart thermostat with voice commands." Progress!
