Organ Subroutines

Organ Subroutines
Just like my code, I present a clean interface to the world while hiding the absolute chaos underneath. My organs might claim to be "functional" adults, but peek inside and you'll find a jumbled mess of objects with no documentation and questionable inheritance patterns. The cat's face is basically my expression when someone asks if my codebase follows SOLID principles.

The Identity Crisis Of This

The Identity Crisis Of This
The existential crisis of the this keyword across programming languages is pure comedy gold. In C++, it's a straightforward pointer to your class instance—neat and tidy. Java keeps it classy with a reference instead. Then Python swoops in with its explicit self parameter like "let's just call it what it is, folks!" But the real punchline? JavaScript, where this is whatever it feels like being that day—sometimes the window, sometimes an element, sometimes your function's parent... who knows! It's the programming equivalent of that friend who changes personality based on who they're hanging out with. No wonder C developers are looking at JS like they've witnessed a crime against computer science.

Finally Reached The Limit Of Object Oriented Programming

Finally Reached The Limit Of Object Oriented Programming
What starts as a simple "model a car" assignment quickly descends into quantum physics. Just another day where inheritance hierarchies spiral out of control until you're implementing abstract quarks. And they wonder why the project is six months behind schedule. Next week: implementing the String Theory interface because someone in management read about it in a magazine.

The Doctor Will See You Now... After Sudo

The Doctor Will See You Now... After Sudo
When someone screams for a doctor in public, CS PhDs suddenly remember they're not that kind of doctor. But hey, who needs medical training when you've got object-oriented solutions? Our hero tries OldMan.setHealth("100%") but forgets the cardinal rule of programming: without admin privileges, you're just another user with delusions of grandeur. Classic rookie mistake. The sudo command finally saves the day because nothing says "trust me, I'm a professional" like forcing your way into a system you don't fully understand. Medical school? Nah, just need root access to the human body.

C Like Father, Like Son

C Like Father, Like Son
The naval mine (C) with all its dangerous spikes has spawned a smaller, arguably more aggressive offspring (C++). Perfect representation of how C++ emerged from C with extra features that can blow up your code in exciting new ways! The parent is already dangerous enough with manual memory management and pointer arithmetic, but the child adds inheritance, templates, and operator overloading to create even more spectacular runtime explosions. Just like these underwater mines, both languages will sink your project if you touch the wrong part.

The Self-Reference Hierarchy Of Doom

The Self-Reference Hierarchy Of Doom
OH. MY. GOD. The absolute HIERARCHY of self-reference in programming languages! 😬 Java with its pretentious " this " keyword? Barely tolerable . Python with its elegant " self " parameter? Now we're talking sophistication ! But Visual Basic with its dramatic " Me " keyword?! HONEY, THAT'S THE PROGRAMMING EQUIVALENT OF SHOWING UP TO A FUNERAL IN A SEQUIN DRESS! 💀 The title says it all - if your job forces you to code in VB, just end it all immediately! The TRAUMA! The HORROR! The SYNTAX! I simply cannot and will not with VB's melodramatic self-importance! It's giving main character energy in the WORST possible way!

Private String Gender

Private String Gender
When your object-oriented programming skills finally come in handy at a protest. Someone clearly paid attention in CS class instead of sleeping through encapsulation lectures. The sign brilliantly uses Java's access modifiers to make a statement - keeping gender as a private string variable that can't be modified by outside classes, rather than a public constant boolean that everyone gets to weigh in on. The compiler of this joke deserves a promotion.

The Floor Is Java

The Floor Is Java
Remember that childhood game where touching the floor meant instant death? Programmers play the adult version every day. Some climb furniture, others hang from ceiling fixtures, and a few just accept their fate and lie motionless on the couch. Anything to avoid writing another line of verbose, boilerplate Java code that takes 47 classes to print "Hello World." The JVM is coming for us all eventually.

Run Fast From The Java Explosion

Run Fast From The Java Explosion
Just committed the ultimate act of sabotage. Told my buddy to start with Java as their first language and now I'm flying away from the disaster zone like a happy little airplane. It's like handing someone a chainsaw when they asked for a butter knife. Sure, Java's powerful and employable, but watching a newbie wrestle with abstract factory pattern implementations before they understand what a variable is? *chef's kiss* Pure chaos. Could've suggested Python or JavaScript, but where's the fun in that? Some people just want to watch the world burn... or at least watch their friend's enthusiasm evaporate faster than RAM in a memory leak.

Pregnant Struct

Pregnant Struct
So this is how data structures reproduce in the wild. A mystruct gets embedded inside a pregnantstruct , complete with a bool yeah; confirmation. Congratulations, it's a nested object! The compiler will be sending cigars. Just wait until it inherits all those methods—they grow up so fast.

The Scariest Kind Of Programmers

The Scariest Kind Of Programmers
The programming paradigm hierarchy in its natural habitat. Object-oriented programmers confidently standing tall, data-oriented programmers clinging to them for support, and return-oriented programmers... well, they've fallen into the bucket and can't get out. Classic case of function returning to the wrong address space. That rabbit's not coming back with a value anytime soon.

Why Put A Tuxedo On Your Variables

Why Put A Tuxedo On Your Variables
The top panel shows Pooh looking unimpressed with a public variable. The middle panel shows Fancy Pooh absolutely delighted with the exact same variable made private but wrapped in getter and setter methods. The bottom panel captures that moment when you join a project and see this pattern everywhere but can't figure out why anyone would add all this boilerplate just to access a simple variable. It's like putting on a tuxedo to walk to your mailbox.
