Deadlock Memes

Ah, the classic race condition joke that haunts every multi-threaded developer's nightmares! Thread 1: "knock knock" Thread 2: "who's there?" Thread 1: "race condition" But in reality, it executes as: "knock knock" "race condition" "who's there?" The punchline arrives before the setup—just like that bug that only appears in production at 3 AM when you're finally getting some sleep. Concurrency: where the answer might show up before you've even asked the question.

The classic "it's not you, it's me" breakup line gets a multithreaded makeover! Our poor developer thought throwing mutexes and closing channels would fix their relationship problems, but they missed the fundamental truth of concurrent programming: no amount of locks can protect you from emotional deadlocks. Meanwhile, their partner is contemplating switching to the "Hawk TUAH" - which is either some obscure programming framework or proof that even in bed, developers are thinking about optimizing performance. Spoiler alert: neither mutexes nor Hawk TUAH will save this relationship from its fatal exception.
