Beginner Game Dev Things

Beginner Game Dev Things
The eternal struggle of game development newbies: having a crystal-clear vision of what your code should accomplish but being completely clueless about how to actually write it. It's like knowing exactly what dish you want to cook but not knowing which end of the knife to hold. The brain says "epic RPG with procedurally generated worlds" but the fingers type "how to print hello world in Unity" for the fifth time today.

When You Create A GitHub Account Without Knowing GIT

When You Create A GitHub Account Without Knowing GIT
Signing up for GitHub before learning Git is like being handed a weapon you have no idea how to operate. You're just standing there with this powerful tool, completely clueless about commits, branches, or pull requests. Meanwhile, seasoned devs are watching you fumble around the interface wondering why you can't just "upload" your code directly. The classic rookie move of thinking GitHub = Git, only to discover there's this whole command line beast you need to tame first!

Learning Code Vs. Forgetting Code

Learning Code Vs. Forgetting Code
Ah yes, the universal truth of our profession. Spend three months mastering a new framework with painful, step-by-step progress, only to forget it all in approximately 2.5 seconds after switching projects. The left side shows our heroic climb up Mount Knowledge—slow, methodical, and filled with Stack Overflow pilgrimages. The right side? That's your brain doing its best Olympic ski jump impression the moment you don't touch that codebase for a week. I've got decade-old code I wrote that might as well be hieroglyphics now. Memory is just cache, and we all know how reliable cache invalidation is...

Monads: The Ultimate Programming Horror Story

Monads: The Ultimate Programming Horror Story
Oh. My. GOD. The absolute trauma of trying to understand monads! Even a horror clown is having an existential crisis reading about them! 💀 Monads are basically functional programming's way of saying "Let's take something simple and wrap it in so many layers of abstraction that your brain will literally melt." They're like those Russian nesting dolls except EACH DOLL IS WRITTEN IN HASKELL AND WANTS TO HURT YOU. The face says it all - that moment when you're 47 pages into a monad tutorial and suddenly question all your life choices that led you to this moment of pure intellectual suffering.

The C++ Version Fashion Police

The C++ Version Fashion Police
Oh honey, the AUDACITY of trying to learn C++23 in 2025 when you haven't even mastered the ancient scrolls of C++20 modules! 💅 Then comes the voice of reason - that wise compiler wizard with Clang++ and CMake tattoos across their soul, gently dragging you back to reality: "Sweetie, let's start with C++17 first, mkay?" The absolute DRAMA of C++ version chasing! It's like trying to wear couture when you can't even button a shirt. Start with the basics, darling, before the template metaprogramming gods smite you with undefined behavior!

Want Something To Cry About?

Want Something To Cry About?
Nothing says "welcome to the real world" like being handed the ISO/IEC 14882:2024 standard—aka the C++ specification. It's the programming equivalent of being told "the swimming pool is over there" and then getting thrown into the Mariana Trench. 900+ pages of the most arcane syntax rules, undefined behaviors, and template metaprogramming nightmares known to mankind. And they update it every few years just when you thought you understood the previous version! The real tears come at 3 AM when you're debugging a segfault caused by some obscure rule on page 734.

The Brutal Reality Of Learning To Code

The Brutal Reality Of Learning To Code
Behold the journey of a coding newbie! Top panel: confidently approaching programming languages like "I'm gonna master ALL of these!" Bottom panel: absolute existential dread upon discovering arrays. Nothing humbles a fresh developer quite like realizing that the simple concept of "just store some values together" comes with indexing, methods, mutability issues, and the classic off-by-one errors that will haunt your dreams forever. The transition from "I can code anything!" to "Why is my array returning undefined?" happens faster than a JavaScript runtime error.

The Eternal C++ Learning Curve

The Eternal C++ Learning Curve
Oh honey, the AUDACITY of C++! You start all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed like Scratch Cat, thinking "I'll master this in a month!" Fast forward to your traumatized, disheveled self clutching a bottle of whatever helps numb the pain of memory leaks and pointer arithmetic. The transformation from optimistic beginner to battle-scarred veteran isn't a journey—it's a HOSTAGE SITUATION. And the ransom? Just your sanity, sleep schedule, and will to code without crying. The eternal C++ learning curve: where "Hello World" feels like a victory and templates feel like psychological warfare.

The Green Character Guide To Programming Languages

The Green Character Guide To Programming Languages
The programming language learning curve, as told by green characters with anger issues. JavaScript and Java will have you hulking out in rage as you battle callback hell and verbose boilerplate code. Meanwhile, Python's sitting there like Shrek – approachable, friendly, and doesn't make you write semicolons after every damn line. It's the programming equivalent of "get out of my swamp" vs "welcome to my swamp, I made you pancakes." The syntax difference is just that dramatic.

I Am Inevitable: The Hello World Power Trip

I Am Inevitable: The Hello World Power Trip
That feeling of godlike power when you finally get your first program to run in a new language. Sure, it's just printing "Hello World!" to the console, but in that moment, you're basically a tech deity who's conquered yet another syntax mountain. Next stop: forgetting everything you just learned while attempting to build something actually useful.

I Just Made My First C Program :D

I Just Made My First C Program :D
Behold, the classic "I just learned programming" approach to checking if a number is even or odd! Instead of using the modulo operator ( n % 2 == 0 ), our brave beginner has hardcoded every possible case from 0 to 25. It's like building a dictionary to look up what 2+2 equals instead of just adding the numbers. This is the programming equivalent of bringing a printed map of every street in the country instead of using GPS. The best part? This code technically works... until someone enters 26.

The Tutorial Time Machine

The Tutorial Time Machine
The eternal cycle of developer disappointment: find a promising tutorial, only to discover it was written when dinosaurs roamed the internet. Nothing quite captures the soul-crushing despair of trying to follow instructions that reference libraries abandoned by their own creators. The best part? Spending 3 hours debugging just to realize the tutorial was written for a version that's now considered archaeological evidence.
