Controversial opinions Memes

Dropping this hot take in a room full of developers is like throwing a grenade into a Discord server. The "Change My Mind" guy sitting there with a straight face while claiming lower_snake_case is superior to camelCase, PascalCase, or kebab-case? Bold move. Here's the thing though - snake_case genuinely is more readable according to actual research. Your eyes don't have to work as hard to parse word boundaries when there's a literal separator between them. But try telling that to the JavaScript crowd who've been camelCasing since 2009, or the C# devs who'd rather die than give up their PascalCase classes. The real war crime? Mixing conventions in the same codebase. Pick your poison and stick with it, or face the wrath of every code reviewer who has to context-switch between your schizophrenic variable names.

The most controversial statement in programming isn't politics or tabs vs spaces—it's whether arrays should start at 0 or 1. This poor woman asked for the truth and got hit with "arrays should start at 1"—a statement so blasphemous to most programmers it's worth crying over. Meanwhile, Lua, MATLAB, and R programmers are nodding in agreement while the rest of us clutch our zero-indexed pearls in horror. The real tragedy? She was probably expecting something less traumatic... like "I deleted the production database."
