Dynamic arrays Memes

The eternal struggle of C programmers! You start off all confident like "I'll just write some C code" but then reality hits you with "damn, no std::vector" and suddenly you're implementing your own dynamic array from scratch. It's the classic trade-off: bare-metal performance in exchange for manually managing every byte of memory like some kind of digital janitor. And don't forget the joy of buffer overflows waiting to ambush you like memory landmines! This is why C++ programmers look at pure C coders with equal parts respect and concern for their mental health.
