Schizophrenia (Object-Oriented Programming)

Schizophrenia (Object-Oriented Programming)
Ah, the classic mental disorder of object-oriented programming! This fake Wikipedia entry brilliantly captures what it feels like to maintain legacy OOP code. You start with a simple class, then suddenly you're creating 17 different inheritance hierarchies, implementing interfaces that don't need to exist, and wondering why your Factory's AbstractSingletonProxyFactoryBean needs its own strategy pattern. And just like schizophrenia has symptoms of disorganized thinking and behavior, your codebase ends up with fragmented responsibilities and voices (comments) from multiple developers arguing about how things should work. The diagnosis? Severe Dependency Injection with a side of Design Pattern Overuse Syndrome.

My Girlfriend Is A Data Model

My Girlfriend Is A Data Model
The smile-to-despair pipeline that hits when your "model" girlfriend isn't the runway type, but a data model in your codebase. In 2020, you're smugly telling everyone about your model girlfriend. By 2026, you've spent six years maintaining that legacy model class with 47 properties, 23 inheritance levels, and enough technical debt to crash the economy. Nothing ages a developer like watching your beautiful abstraction turn into a horrifying monolith that nobody wants to touch but everyone depends on.

The Most Terrifying Tool In Game Development

The Most Terrifying Tool In Game Development
The scariest Halloween costume for GameMaker developers isn't a ghost or zombie—it's the "change instance" tool. That innocent-looking red and blue ball icon circled in red is the digital equivalent of performing heart surgery with your eyes closed. One misclick and your carefully crafted game logic transforms into an unholy abomination. Nothing says "I enjoy chaos" quite like accidentally turning all your player characters into explosive barrels mid-development.

Guess Who's The Impostor

Guess Who's The Impostor
Oh. My. GOD! The C language family drama is giving me LIFE right now! 💅 We've got C# and C++ flanking regular C like it's some kind of programming language family reunion, but honey, one of these is NOT like the others! Plain old C is just SITTING there without any fancy symbols or modern features, practically ANCIENT, while its descendants are flaunting their object-oriented superiority! The audacity! The plain C is clearly the impostor because it doesn't have all those fancy bells and whistles that its children inherited! It's like showing up to a fashion show wearing BEIGE CARGO SHORTS! I can't even!

We Are Not The Same

We Are Not The Same
The ultimate family drama of programming languages! C and C++ are asked if they're friends, and C++ enthusiastically says "Yes" while C firmly says "No." Classic one-sided relationship where C++ was literally built on top of C, inheriting all its features and extending them with object-oriented goodness. Meanwhile, C is that stubborn grandpa who refuses to acknowledge the fancy descendant with all those "unnecessary abstractions." It's like C is still mad that C++ took its syntax, added a bunch of complexity, and then had the audacity to put "++" in its name like it's somehow better. The compatibility is strictly one-directional - just like that one friend who always borrows your stuff but never lets you touch theirs.

The Scariest Programmers

The Scariest Programmers
The programming paradigm hierarchy in its natural habitat! Data-oriented folks stand tall and proud at the top of the food chain. Object-oriented programmers cling desperately to the middle ground, while those return-oriented programmers... well, they're basically just lurking in the shadows waiting to exploit buffer overflows and hijack execution flow. The secret fourth paradigm not pictured: functional programmers who are too busy explaining monads to fit in the frame.

We Are The Same (But Different)

We Are The Same (But Different)
The ultimate polymorphic relationship! Both Perl and C++ are saying they can do one thing in multiple ways, but for completely different reasons. Perl prides itself on the infamous "There's More Than One Way To Do It" philosophy where you can write the same function 47 different ways (and each one looks like your cat walked across the keyboard). Meanwhile, C++ is flexing its polymorphism muscles where you can override methods and have different implementations based on the object type. Both are technically correct, both will give you nightmares during code reviews. The perfect programming language love story doesn't exi—

Typical Child In The Life Of A Programmer

Typical Child In The Life Of A Programmer
Behold, the ultimate programmer flex: writing your baby's entire lifecycle in Python. The parents imported themselves, created a class with genetic inheritance, and defined core functions like init (hello world!), live (an infinite loop of sleep and awesomeness), and the smuggest be_awesome method with that classic programmer confidence. I've seen startups with less documentation than this baby. And that yield Bardak() line? Clearly the parents are planning for those 3 AM feedings. The only thing missing is a proper exception handler for diaper failures.

Query Inception: When Your Query Is So Query It Queries Itself

Query Inception: When Your Query Is So Query It Queries Itself
Ah, the classic SQL query written by someone who clearly learned database access from a fortune cookie. The SQL is backwards—it should be "SELECT * FROM Customers" but they've written "FROM Customers SELECT *". The real chef's kiss is that this is wrapped in a method called "GetCustomersQuery" inside a class called "Query" which is also creating an object called "query" of type "Query.Query". It's like naming your dog "Dog" and then calling your dog's puppy "Dog.Dog" and then teaching it a trick called "GetDogTrick()". Four years of computer science for this masterpiece. 💀

Inheritance: The Ultimate Design Pattern For Wealth

Inheritance: The Ultimate Design Pattern For Wealth
The perfect double entendre doesn't exi— In programming, inheritance lets a class acquire properties from a parent class. In real life, inheritance lets you acquire properties from your parents. Coincidence? I think not. The fastest way to build wealth is apparently the same whether you're writing Java or living in society - just extend the right class.

When OOP Meets IRL

When OOP Meets IRL
The programmer's brain is truly a special place. While normal people are saying "don't treat women like objects," our code-addled minds are literally instantiating new Woman objects with a constructor. That syntax is straight from the OOP playbook—creating a new instance with the classic women = new Women(); pattern. It's that beautiful moment when your professional deformation makes you physically unable to interpret anything outside of programming paradigms. Your brain has been permanently rewired to see the world as classes, objects, and inheritance hierarchies.

C Slash C Plus Plus: The Complicated Relationship

C Slash C Plus Plus: The Complicated Relationship
The AUDACITY of someone asking if C and C++ are friends! 💅 Honey, that's like asking if your ex and their upgraded version get along! C is standing there like "Absolutely NOT" while C++ is all "Actually, I can use everything they own, so... yes!" The DRAMA! C++ literally took C's syntax, added object-oriented fabulousness, and then had the NERVE to claim compatibility! It's the programming language equivalent of stealing someone's wardrobe and then saying "we share clothes!" The relationship status? It's complicated, darling!
