CS Majors Aren't Engineers

Ah, the eternal CS vs. Engineering rivalry. Patrick thinks he's found the perfect burn—CS majors are just programmers who run screaming at the mention of actual hardware. Meanwhile, the CS major is having an existential crisis at the mere utterance of "circuits" and "CPUs." As someone who once spent three hours debugging code only to realize my monitor wasn't plugged in properly, I feel personally attacked. Hardware is just software you can't Ctrl+Z when you break it.

Serial vs Parallel Execution: A Killer Analogy

Whoever made this deserves a promotion and a psych evaluation. It's a brilliant visual pun using electrical circuit diagrams to illustrate computing concepts. Serial processing executes tasks one after another (like killers waiting their turn), while parallel processing handles multiple tasks simultaneously (killing your CPU efficiency but getting the job done faster). After 15 years of optimizing code, I still chuckle when junior devs discover threading and suddenly want to parallelize everything. Sure kid, enjoy your race conditions and deadlocks—I'll be over here with my popcorn.
