Full Stack Of Nested Loops
When someone asks if you're a "full stack" developer and you show them your scientific computing code with nested loops six levels deep. That's not what "full stack" means, but hey, the stack trace when this bad boy crashes will definitely be full! Those nested do loops are giving me anxiety just looking at them. The complexity is through the roof with all those orbital mesh calculations. Who needs clean architecture when you can just nest another loop and call it a day? The person who has to maintain this monstrosity is probably updating their resume right now.

The Alphabet: Java's Secret Performance Bottleneck
Someone counted the letters between 'i' and 'z' and decided that's why we can't have more than 18 nested for loops. Because clearly, the limiting factor in your code isn't the stack overflow, processor meltdown, or your will to live - it's the English alphabet. Next up: arrays can only have 26 dimensions because we ran out of variable names.

Whose Side Are You On: Algorithm Purists vs. Pragmatic Coders
Two types of C programmers in the wild. On the left, the algorithm purist who builds a nested loop monstrosity with variables like "i" and "j" because apparently naming variables is too mainstream. On the right, the pragmatist who just hardcodes the damn star pattern and goes home early. The left guy is still debugging his loop indices while the right guy is already enjoying his weekend. Sure, it's not "elegant" or "scalable," but it works and nobody's going to maintain this code anyway. Let's be honest, we've all been both of these people at different points in our careers.

It's The Law
Questioning why programmers use i and j as loop variables is like asking why water is wet. It's not just tradition—it's practically encoded in our DNA at this point. Try using x or counter in your next code review and watch your colleagues react with the same shocked expression as this meme. They'll look at you like you've suggested tabs instead of spaces or declared that semicolons are optional. The unwritten rule dates back to FORTRAN days when variables starting with I-N were integers by default. Now we're just stuck in an infinite loop of convention that nobody dares to break.
