Math Memes

The Venn diagram of intellectual superiority has spoken, and programmers are social distancing before it was cool! While physicists are busy turning penguins into perfect cylinders, engineers are rounding π to 3 (because who needs those pesky decimals?), and mathematicians are defining e with fancy limits, programmers are off in their own circle with "x = x + 1" - a statement that would make mathematicians have an existential crisis. Notice how programmers don't overlap with anyone? That's not isolation, that's specialization . We're not wrong, we're just using a different paradigm where impossible equations make perfect sense. And let's pour one out for the chemists, reduced to the smallest circle possible - apparently they couldn't even afford proper representation in this diagram hierarchy!

Sure, normal people count to 10 on their fingers. But us nerds? We're out here counting in binary where each finger is a bit. Two hands = 10 bits = 2^10 = 1024 values. It's the same reason we think 512MB is a nice round number while marketing folks insist on calling it "half a gig." We didn't spend years optimizing algorithms just to use decimal like some kind of animal. The irony? Most of us still use our fingers to count how many bugs we've introduced while fixing the original one.
