Insanity Memes

The comic titled "#DEFINE MADNESS" perfectly captures the special relationship between developers and compilers. Our protagonist keeps hitting compile and getting errors, growing increasingly frustrated. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, the compiler is just a machine dutifully collecting errors with a catapult and asking "He recompiled the same code again, should we stop?" It's like yelling at a vending machine that ate your dollar. The machine doesn't care. It's just doing its job. And yet here we are, expecting different results from identical actions. Einstein called that insanity, developers call it "debugging."

Ah, the classic "#DEFINE MADNESS" - doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results. Twenty years in this industry and I still catch myself hammering that compile button like it's going to magically fix itself. Meanwhile, the compiler is just sitting there thinking, "This idiot is sending me the exact same broken code repeatedly. Should we tell him or just keep launching errors like a medieval catapult?" The real kicker? That one time you compile the same code without changing anything and it suddenly works. That's when you know the universe is just messing with you.
