C Is Becoming Python
Congratulations, you've discovered the forbidden C hack that lets you skip semicolons by exploiting the return value of printf() inside an if statement. Next week: removing curly braces by nesting everything in a single ternary operator. The irony is palpable. Writing more code to avoid typing a single character is exactly the kind of "optimization" that keeps senior developers awake at night. It's like building an entire automated system just to avoid getting up to turn off the light switch.

Yesterday I Discovered The Mutable Keyword
15 years of C++ experience and just discovered mutable ? That's like being a plumber for decades and suddenly finding out toilets have a flush mechanism. The cat's face in the last panel is the universal expression of "I've been using const_cast this whole time for nothing." Nothing quite says "expert" like realizing fundamental language features have been hiding in plain sight since 1998.

Let's Create A Programming Nightmare
The programming community's favorite pastime: creating yet another language nobody asked for! Imagine taking JavaScript's type coercion, PHP's inconsistent naming conventions, C++'s memory management, Python's GIL, and Java's verbosity—then mashing them into one horrific Frankenstein's monster of a language. The compiler would generate 200 warnings just to print "Hello World" and the documentation would be written exclusively in regex. The only thing more terrifying than using this language would be explaining it during a job interview.
