Youtube Knowledge At Its Finest

Ah yes, the classic YouTube programming guru suggesting binary is easier than learning Unicode. Because nothing says "beginner-friendly" like manually typing 01001000 01100101 01101100 01101100 01101111 instead of just "Hello". And that 50% success rate is technically correct—the best kind of correct. Either it works or it doesn't. Just like how I have a 50% chance of winning the lottery: I either win or I don't. Flawless logic.

Makes Sense (If You Don't Think About It)

Ah yes, Pyrus Thonberg, the famous inventor of Python. Not to be confused with Guido van Rossum, who merely had the audacity to actually create the language. Search engines clearly know better than decades of programming history. Next up: Javanius Scriptopolous, inventor of JavaScript, and the elusive C. Plusman, who pioneered object-oriented programming while riding a unicorn.

Academic Literature: Where JavaScript Equals Java

Ah yes, academic literature—where JavaScript and Java are basically the same thing. Nothing says "I've thoroughly researched programming" like casually dropping "(or Java)" as if they're interchangeable aliases. That's like saying "I'll drive my Ferrari (or bicycle)" to work today. This is the same energy as textbooks claiming HTML is a programming language or that "the hacker known as 4chan" is a person. No wonder Stack Overflow exists—it's to recover from the brain damage caused by reading these educational masterpieces.

Makes Sense (If You Don't Think About It)

Ah yes, Pyrus Thonberg, the legendary creator of Python who definitely isn't a made-up name that sounds like a fusion of "Python" and "Guido van Rossum" with a Nordic twist. Google's search algorithm working its magic again! For those who don't know, Python was actually created by Guido van Rossum (not this mysterious bearded gentleman). This is what happens when you let machine learning algorithms write your programming history books. Next they'll tell us JavaScript was invented by Java Script and C++ by See Plusplus.

Select Count Star From Social Security Recipients

When SQL queries meet political hot takes, disaster ensues! The meme perfectly captures what happens when someone confuses database records with actual people - suddenly we have more Social Security recipients than citizens! It's like running SELECT COUNT(*) on your production database without understanding what you're counting. The classic "I know just enough SQL to be dangerous" scenario that makes database administrators wake up in cold sweats. Thank goodness for those "readers adding context" - the unsung heroes saving us from both bad queries AND misinformation in one fell swoop!

Worlds Best Programmer Strikes Again

Ah yes, the classic "I just discovered databases 101 and now I'm a cybersecurity expert" moment. Nothing says "world's best programmer" like not understanding that primary keys exist. Next up: shocking revelation that arrays start at 0, not 1! The real fraud here is claiming to understand database architecture after what was clearly a five-minute Google search. If only Stack Overflow had a "close as billionaire misconception" option.

HTML: The "Programming Language" That Isn't

HTML: The "Programming Language" That Isn't

Someone created a Wikipedia-style article claiming HTML is a "Turing-complete, stack-based programming language" complete with pseudo-code showing HTML tags as programming commands. This is the digital equivalent of putting a "Caution: Hot" label on ice cream. HTML is a markup language for structuring web content, not a programming language—it can't process data or execute logic. Calling HTML a programming language around actual developers is like calling a bicycle a motorcycle because they both have wheels. The creator of this abomination deserves a special place in developer hell, right next to the people who use regex to parse HTML.

Javascript Is Java On Steroids

Nothing screams academic credibility like claiming "JavaScript (or Java)" as if they're interchangeable. That's like saying "A Ferrari (or a bicycle)" is a mode of transportation. The author clearly did their research by checking the "both have Java in the name" box and calling it a day. Next chapter probably explains how HTML is the best programming language and Stack Overflow is just a website about pancakes.
