Coding brain Memes

The neural pathways of a developer's brain have evolved to interpret everything through code-colored glasses. When normal humans hear "Let's create a game together," they think of flirting. Meanwhile, the developer's brain short-circuits and immediately jumps to "Unity or Unreal Engine? I'll set up the Git repo tonight!" No wonder dating profiles don't have a field for preferred programming language - it would be the only thing we'd fill out properly.

To normal humans, "I❤️U" is a sweet declaration of love written on a steamy mirror. To programmers, it's a terrifying logical NOT operator followed by a comparison between I and U. That's basically saying "NOT I equals U" which is either a syntax error or an existential crisis depending on your compiler. The sheer horror on the CS person's face says it all - they can't enjoy romantic gestures without mentally parsing them as Boolean operations. It's the curse of seeing ! and immediately thinking "bang operator" instead of "someone's excited about love."
