Programming Or Hate Myself

13 hours ago 129.0K views 0 shares

The classic programmer's dilemma: feeling miserable, then discovering that C++ is somehow an even more effective form of self-loathing. It's like choosing between regular depression and depression with manual memory management, segmentation faults, and template error messages that span 47 lines. At least regular sadness doesn't require you to understand the Rule of Five or why your destructor just caused a core dump. C++ takes "hating yourself" and adds undefined behavior as a feature, not a bug.

Nothing ruins a developer's flow state faster than a senior dev gatekeeping what "real engineering" looks like. Junior was vibing with his lo-fi beats and cute VS Code theme, probably knocking out features left and right. Then comes the senior with a memory leak in some ancient C++ module nobody's touched since the Bush administration, demanding manual tracing without AI tools because apparently suffering builds character. Six hours of staring at a black screen while senior takes a 2-hour tea break? That's not mentorship, that's hazing. The username "@forgot_to_kill_ec2" is just *chef's kiss* – nothing says "us-east-1 Survivor" quite like forgetting to terminate instances and watching your AWS bill skyrocket. Welcome to the real world indeed, where your zen coding session gets replaced by pointer arithmetic nightmares and existential dread.

Someone wrote a manifesto about how using C, C++, Python, or vanilla JavaScript in production is basically corporate negligence, advocating for Rust, Go, and TypeScript instead. The reply? "Nonsense. If your code has reached the point of unmaintainable complexity, then blame the author, not the language." Classic developer blame game. The first person is basically saying "your tools are bad and you should feel bad," while the second person fires back with "skill issue, not language issue." Both are technically correct, which makes this argument eternal. The reality? Yeah, modern languages with better type systems and memory safety do prevent entire classes of bugs. But also yeah, a terrible developer can write unmaintainable garbage in any language, including Rust. You can't memory-safety your way out of 10,000-line functions and zero documentation. The real takeaway: if you're shipping production code in 2025 without considering memory safety and type guarantees, you're making a choice. Just make sure it's an informed one, not a "we've always done it this way" one.

So Microsoft wants to eliminate C and C++ by 2030 using AI to rewrite their entire codebase. Because nothing says "brilliant strategy" like letting algorithms rewrite millions of lines of battle-tested code that's been running critical systems for decades. The hubris is *chef's kiss*. They're so busy flexing their AI muscles that they forgot to ask the most important question: just because you CAN automate the rewriting of foundational infrastructure doesn't mean you SHOULD. What could possibly go wrong with AI touching code that powers Windows, Office, and Azure? It's not like memory safety bugs are subtle or anything. The Jeff Goldblum meme from Jurassic Park is the perfect response here. They were so preoccupied with whether they could use AI to eliminate C/C++, they didn't stop to think if they should. Because replacing decades of institutional knowledge and battle-hardened code with AI-generated Rust (presumably) is definitely going to go smoothly. No edge cases, no undefined behavior gotchas, just pure algorithmic magic. Sure.

Microsoft's ambitious plan to nuke every line of C/C++ from their codebase by 2030 using AI is giving major "we'll rewrite it in Rust next quarter" vibes, except with a budget that could buy a small country. The highlighted goals are absolutely wild: eliminate decades of battle-tested code and somehow have 1 engineer rewrite 1 million lines in 1 month. Because nothing says "stable production environment" like AI-generated code at scale, right? The real kicker here is the confidence level. They're building "powerful infrastructure" and "scalable graphs" to accomplish what they themselves call a "previously unimaginable task." Translation: they're throwing AI at a problem that probably doesn't need solving, but hey, it's 2024 and if you're not using AI for everything, are you even a tech company? Can't wait to see the bug reports when AI decides to "optimize" some critical kernel code.

Partying Is Tough For Me

C++ Programming

Standing awkwardly at a party while everyone's dancing and having fun, but your brain is stuck thinking about pointer-to-pointer concepts from your C++ project. You know, the classic double pointer (**ptr) that points to another pointer that points to the actual data? Yeah, try explaining THAT to someone who thinks "debugging" means removing actual insects. The real tragedy here is that you're genuinely excited about this topic and nobody at the party cares that you just figured out how to dynamically allocate a 2D array. They're out here living their best lives while you're mentally drawing memory diagrams. This is what happens when you spend too much time in low-level languages—you become fluent in memory addresses but lose the ability to small talk. Fun fact: Pointer-to-pointer is actually useful for things like modifying pointer values in functions or creating dynamic multidimensional arrays. But that conversation starter has a 100% success rate at clearing the room.

When the government declassifies documents, they redact sensitive info with those black boxes. Someone brilliantly applied that concept to C code, and honestly? It's a masterpiece. You've got #include<[REDACTED].h> , a function signature that's basically int [REDACTED]_[REDACTED]() , and even the comments are censored. The best part? You can still tell it's valid C syntax structure—the curly braces, the return statement, the multi-line comment format—but every actual identifier is blacked out. It's like trying to reverse engineer code where the NSA took a Sharpie to all the variable names. The function could be calculating missile trajectories or just returning 0, and we'll never know. Security through obscurity taken to its logical extreme.

Switching from C++ to Python is like going from manually managing your entire life with spreadsheets and alarm clocks to just asking Alexa to do everything. You're saying goodbye to pointers (the bane of every C++ developer's existence), manual memory management with ++ operators, semicolons that you WILL forget, curly braces everywhere, and that intimidating main() function boilerplate. Python just lets you write code without all the ceremony. No more segmentation faults at 2 AM because you dereferenced a null pointer. No more wondering if you should use delete or delete[] . Just pure, clean, indentation-based bliss where everything is a reference and garbage collection is someone else's problem. The relief is real. It's like taking off tight shoes after a 12-hour shift of fighting with template metaprogramming and undefined behavior.

The Rust compiler is basically that overprotective parent who won't let you do anything. Can't turn left, can't turn right, can't go straight, can't U-turn. Just... stop. Sit there. Think about your life choices. Meanwhile, C++ is like "yeah bro, drive off that cliff if you want, I'm not your mom." Rust's borrow checker sees every pointer you touch and goes full panic mode with error messages longer than your commit history. Sure, it prevents memory leaks and data races, but sometimes you just want to write some unsafe code and live dangerously without a 47-line compiler lecture about lifetimes. The best part? The compiler is technically right. It IS for your own good. But that doesn't make it any less infuriating when you're just trying to ship code and rustc is having an existential crisis about whether your reference lives long enough.

Imagine a utopian future where the -o4 optimization flag actually exists. We're talking about a world where your code doesn't just run fast—it achieves sentience, solves world hunger, and probably fixes your merge conflicts too. Currently, GCC and most compilers max out at -o3 , which is already aggressive enough to make your binary unrecognizable. But -o4 ? That's the stuff of legends. Flying cars, futuristic architecture, and code that compiles without warnings on the first try. Pure fantasy.

C++ devs really be out here benchmarking their 6000-line monstrosity against your Python one-liner and acting like they just solved world hunger. Yeah, congrats on shaving off 0.000438 seconds—that's really gonna matter when both programs finish before you can even alt-tab back to your browser. The superiority complex is strong with this one. Meanwhile, your Python script was written during a coffee break and is already in production while they're still arguing about whether to use std::vector or std::array .

Learning Cpp As C With Classes

Welcome to C++, where arrays decay to pointers faster than your career expectations after reading legacy code. Someone just discovered that when you pass an array to a function, it immediately forgets its own size and becomes a humble pointer. No size information, no bounds checking, just raw pointer energy. So now you're stuck passing array sizes as separate parameters like it's 1972. Meanwhile, Python devs are over there with their .length property, sipping lattes, while C# folks have their nice Array.Length . But here you are, manually tracking array sizes like some kind of memory accountant. The "C with classes" nickname hits different when you realize Bjarne Stroustrup gave us templates, RAII, and move semantics, but somehow we're still manually babysitting array bounds in 2025. At least we have std::vector and std::array now... if you can convince your team to stop writing C code in .cpp files.
