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.

Is The Cure To Slow Bad Code Using Faster Hardware?

Is The Cure To Slow Bad Code Using Faster Hardware?
OMG, the AUDACITY of some developers! 💀 Instead of fixing their horrifically inefficient spaghetti code, they just throw more RAM and faster CPUs at the problem like that's going to save their algorithmic sins! Honey, your O(n²) monstrosity isn't going to magically become O(log n) just because you bought a shiny new processor. It's like putting a Ferrari engine in a shopping cart and expecting it to win Formula 1. The hardware might be faster, but your code is still a dumpster fire wrapped in a tragedy!

Printf For The W

Printf For The W
The eternal battle between sophisticated debugging tools and the humble print statement. When faced with a complex bug, we all pretend we'll use those fancy debuggers with breakpoints and stack traces. Then reality hits and we're just throwing print("test") statements everywhere like a medieval knight charging into battle with nothing but a shield and pure audacity. Sure, IDEs offer us the programming equivalent of nuclear weapons, but sometimes you just want to stab the problem with a pointy stick and see what leaks out. The simplest solution is often the most reliable—especially when you're on your 5th coffee and deadline was yesterday.

This is peak programmer problem-solving right here! The dev proudly announces their "really fast Rubik's cube solver" but the actual implementation is just a function that calls Reset() . It's the coding equivalent of solving a jigsaw puzzle by dumping all the pieces back in the box. Sure, technically the cube is no longer unsolved... because you've just reset it to its original state! This is the same energy as fixing bugs by turning the computer off and on again. Work smarter not harder, I guess?
