Partying Is Tough For Me

18 hours ago 127.9K views 0 shares

Standing awkwardly at a party while everyone's dancing and having fun, but your brain is stuck thinking about pointer-to-pointer concepts from your C++ project. You know, the classic double pointer (**ptr) that points to another pointer that points to the actual data? Yeah, try explaining THAT to someone who thinks "debugging" means removing actual insects. The real tragedy here is that you're genuinely excited about this topic and nobody at the party cares that you just figured out how to dynamically allocate a 2D array. They're out here living their best lives while you're mentally drawing memory diagrams. This is what happens when you spend too much time in low-level languages—you become fluent in memory addresses but lose the ability to small talk. Fun fact: Pointer-to-pointer is actually useful for things like modifying pointer values in functions or creating dynamic multidimensional arrays. But that conversation starter has a 100% success rate at clearing the room.

You know that feeling when you write some absolutely cursed code that somehow works, and you're riding high on that divine knowledge of what every line does? Fast forward six months—or let's be real, six days—and you're staring at your own creation like it's an ancient hieroglyph. The cat's smug expression perfectly captures that initial confidence: "Yeah, I'm a genius, I know exactly what's happening here." Then reality hits when you need to modify it and suddenly you're praying to the code gods for enlightenment because even you can't figure out what past-you was thinking. No comments, no documentation, just pure chaos. The transition from "only god & I understood" to "only god knows" is the programmer's journey from hubris to humility, speedrun edition.

It's That Time Of The Year Again...

The annual ritual where your wallet screams in terror while Steam dangles those sweet 90% off deals in front of you. You're excitedly grabbing every discounted game like it's Christmas morning, completely ignoring the 247 unplayed games from last year's sale still gathering digital dust in your library. Meanwhile, Epic Games is sitting at the bottom of the ocean like a forgotten skeleton, having given you so many free games that you've become completely numb to their existence. They literally gave away GTA V and you still haven't installed it. The hierarchy of attention is clear: Steam Winter Sale is the golden child, last year's backlog is the neglected middle child desperately trying to get noticed, and Epic's freebies are the family skeleton we don't talk about anymore. Your backlog isn't just drowning—it's achieving new depths of abandonment.

Someone really looked at their Apple Watch and thought "You know what? This 1.5-inch screen is PERFECT for my 8-hour coding sessions." Because nothing says peak productivity like squinting at VS Code on a display smaller than a postage stamp, frantically trying to debug with your pinky finger while your IDE crashes from sheer confusion. The watch is literally begging you to open a folder—ANY folder—just to justify its existence as a development machine. Next up: deploying to production from a smart fridge. The future is now, and it's absolutely ridiculous.

How Many Unplayed Games Do You Guys Have?

Steam Winter Sale hits different when you're a developer. You already spend 12 hours a day staring at code, debugging someone else's spaghetti, and arguing with CI/CD pipelines. The last thing you want to do is boot up a game that requires... more thinking. So instead, you buy 47 games at 80% off because "it's a good deal" and "I'll definitely play this when I have time." Spoiler: you won't. That backlog just keeps growing while you convince yourself that buying more games is somehow different from hoarding. It's not. The real game is watching your library percentage drop from 15% to 4% played and pretending that's fine. That's the endgame content right there.

You spend years being the designated "tech person" in your friend group, fielding questions about why their printer won't work and explaining that no, you can't hack their ex's Instagram. Radio silence for months. Then suddenly, out of nowhere, they emerge from the shadows with actual tech curiosity! Your heart swells with pride. Maybe they want to learn programming? Build a website? Understand how databases work? Nope. Gaming PC. Because of course they do. The one thing that has absolutely nothing to do with your software engineering expertise but somehow you're still expected to know the difference between a 4070 Ti and a 4080 Super. Welcome to being the "computer friend" – where your CS degree qualifies you to be an unpaid hardware consultant apparently. At least it's not another "can you fix my phone" request, right? Right?

IT Guys Listening To Non IT People Talk About Computers

You know that special kind of pain when someone tells you they "deleted the internet" or that their computer has a virus because it's running slow? That's the face right there. It's the internal screaming mixed with the professional obligation to nod politely while someone explains how they fixed their printer by "downloading more RAM." The best part is trying to maintain composure when they're absolutely confident in their completely wrong explanation. "Yeah, I'm pretty tech-savvy myself" they say, right before asking if you can hack their ex's Facebook. The restraint it takes not to correct every single misconception is truly an underappreciated skill in the tech industry.

Typical Child In The Life Of A Programmer

When you inherit from both parents but implement the interface as a Python class. The onesie is basically a programmer's birth certificate written in code. Love how the live() method is just an infinite loop of sleeping, yielding to Bardak (probably a parenting framework for diaper changes), and calling be_awesome() . The implementation of be_awesome() ? Just pass . Already awesome by default—no logic needed. That's some solid object-oriented parenting right there. The imports are chef's kiss: import ibtiSam as mom and import boaz as dad . Aliasing your parents like they're npm packages. The class constructor takes both parents' genes as parameters—multiple inheritance done right. And that __init__ printing "hello world!" is probably the most accurate representation of birth ever coded. Baby's first deployment was clearly a success. No exceptions raised, all tests passing, and already in production with that "Welcome home" comment. 10/10 would instantiate again.

The classic programmer bedtime ritual: say goodnight to your partner at 11 PM like a responsible adult, then immediately boot up Geometry Dash the second they fall asleep. Because nothing says "healthy work-life balance" like grinding through impossible platformer levels until the birds start chirping. The progression here is beautiful—midnight hits and they're still going strong, by 3 AM they've entered the zone where time becomes meaningless and muscle memory takes over. Meanwhile, their partner is peacefully dreaming, blissfully unaware that their significant other is one failed jump away from throwing their mechanical keyboard through the monitor. Fun fact: Studies show that 87% of programmers have convinced themselves that "just one more level" at 2 AM will somehow improve their debugging skills the next day. Spoiler alert: it won't, but at least you'll have sick reaction times during your morning standup when you're running on 3 hours of sleep and pure caffeine.

When you've spent enough time dealing with HTTP status codes, you start seeing them everywhere. Slot 404 is empty? Of course it is—resource not found. Classic. The fact that 403 and 405 still have drinks just makes it funnier because your brain immediately goes "forbidden" and "method not allowed" instead of just thinking "oh, they're out of Sprite." You know you're too deep in the backend trenches when a missing soda bottle at the grocery store triggers your API debugging instincts. Normal people see an empty shelf. We see error codes. This is what happens when you've written too many REST APIs and not touched grass in a while.

We Are Too Focused On Optimizing Our Code And Forgot To Optimize Our Social Lives

Plot twist of the century: your dream programmer girlfriend ALSO never leaves the house because she's busy refactoring her codebase at 3 AM in a hoodie. She's not at the bar, she's not at the gym—she's in her cave with three monitors, debugging her life choices just like you! The dating pool for programmers is basically two hermit crabs trying to find each other while both are hiding under rocks. You're both optimizing algorithms instead of optimizing your chances of human interaction. The irony is CHEF'S KISS—you can't meet because you're doing the exact same thing that makes you compatible in the first place. It's the ultimate catch-22: the person who would understand your lifestyle is living the same isolated, screen-lit existence. Maybe the real solution is a dating app that only works between 2-4 AM and matches based on commit history? 💀

This Wasn't Our Year

When Mom asks if you're bringing a girl home for Christmas and you're staring at ISBN barcode validation logic that looks like it was written by someone who gave up on life halfway through. The function checks if a code starts with "978" and throws an exception for "UPCs that might b..." – yeah, that error message got cut off just like your dating prospects. The real tragedy here? Someone is manually calculating ISBN-13 checksums with a for loop and modulo operations instead of using a library. That's the programming equivalent of being asked about your love life while you're debugging legacy code at 2 AM. Both situations scream "this wasn't our year" with equal intensity. Fun fact: ISBN-13 barcodes starting with 978 are book identifiers, which means this developer is probably more familiar with O'Reilly books than actual human interaction. Relatable content right there.
