The Semicolon Intelligence Paradox

The Semicolon Intelligence Paradox
The IQ bell curve showing people on both extremes making the same syntax error is peak programming culture. The average coders (IQ 100) are sweating bullets over missing semicolons, while both the "barely functioning" and "genius" programmers are casually making the same mistake. Meanwhile, the employed dev at the bottom is completely lost—like when a senior dev walks into a room of junior devs arguing about whether tabs or spaces are superior. That magical moment when you realize some people are overthinking simple syntax while others have transcended to worrying about actual problems.

Year Plus Equal One

Year Plus Equal One
The internal struggle of a CS freshman who just learned increment operators but is desperately fighting the urge to post "year++" on social media for New Year's. That face is the exact expression of someone who knows it's both the most obvious joke possible and yet somehow still feels clever for thinking of it. The restraint is physically painful.

The Great Escape From Algorithm 101

The Great Escape From Algorithm 101
The professor asked for a pattern program, and this student just hard-coded every single line with printf statements. No loops, no logic, just brute force printing. And now they're running away from the teacher because they know what's coming. It's the coding equivalent of answering "what's 5+7?" by saying "I memorized that it's 12" instead of explaining addition. Sure, it works... technically. But you've missed the entire point of the exercise and any self-respecting CS professor is going to hunt you down for this crime against algorithms.
