Have You Considered Rewriting This Meme In Rust

7 hours ago 103.8K views 0 shares

Picture this: you're just trying to use the restroom in peace when suddenly a Rust evangelist appears beside you like some kind of memory-safe apparition. They simply CANNOT resist the urge to tell you about how your entire life would be better if you just rewrote it in Rust. Zero-cost abstractions while you're trying to take care of business? Fearless concurrency in the bathroom? The audacity! The Rust community has become legendary for their... let's call it "enthusiastic" approach to promoting their language. You could be discussing literally ANYTHING—your grocery list, your cat's behavior, the meaning of life—and somehow a Rust programmer will materialize to suggest rewriting it in Rust. It's like they've achieved a higher plane of existence where every problem is just a nail waiting for the Rust hammer. The bathroom setting is *chef's kiss* because it represents the one place where social conventions should prevent unsolicited tech advice, yet here we are. Not even the sacred urinal code can stop the Rust propaganda machine. Borrow checker? More like borrow my personal space, am I right?

This Is A Joke About Holy C

Programming C++

1 day ago 387.2K views 0 shares

The evolution of main function signatures, from basic to absolutely transcendent. Starting with the peasant-tier function main() , ascending through int main() (slightly more enlightened), reaching void main() (controversial but galaxy-brained), and finally achieving divine consciousness with U0 main() . For the uninitiated: U0 is HolyC's void type, the programming language created by the late Terry Davis for TempleOS—an entire operating system built by one man who claimed to be building God's temple. U0 represents the ultimate return type: nothing, because when you're programming for divine purposes, what even is a return value? You don't return to the OS, you return to the heavens. The ascension makes perfect sense: regular developers use functions, smart developers return integers, galaxy brains use void, but only the truly enlightened use U0 and compile their code in 640x480 16-color glory while talking directly to God through random number generators.

There Are Wrong Choices

Someone tries to be diplomatic with the whole "all languages are valid" speech, and programmers collectively decide that's heresy worthy of immediate execution. The beautiful irony here is that while the dev community loves to preach inclusivity and "use the right tool for the job," the moment someone mentions their stack, the pitchforks come out. PHP devs get roasted. JavaScript gets mocked for its type coercion. Python gets called slow. C++ devs are accused of loving segfaults. Nobody is safe. The truth? We're all just one bad take away from being crucified in the tech Twitter wasteland. Choose your language wisely, because the internet never forgets—and neither do your code reviewers.

No It's Not C Hashtag Lol

Csharp Microsoft Programming

2 days ago 223.8K views 0 shares

The eternal struggle of explaining C# pronunciation to literally anyone outside the .NET ecosystem. It's always "C hashtag" or "C pound" until someone finally corrects you with the proper "C Sharp" pronunciation. The meme perfectly captures that redemption arc moment when C# finally gets to introduce itself properly after being butchered for years. Fun fact: the # symbol was actually chosen because it resembles four plus signs in a grid (++++ = C++++), suggesting it's an increment of C++. Microsoft really said "let's confuse everyone forever" and succeeded spectacularly.

New Age Slop C

AI Csharp C++ Programming

Dennis Ritchie invented C in 1972. Anders Hejlsberg invented C# in 2000. Now some random guy with a webcam and a dream invented "C~slop" in 2026. The natural evolution of programming languages, really. From foundational systems programming to enterprise-friendly managed code to... whatever AI-generated fever dream we're about to endure. The progression of facial expressions tells you everything you need to know. Ritchie looks dignified and accomplished. Hejlsberg looks professional and pleased with his work. Random webcam guy looks like he just discovered he can prompt ChatGPT to write an entire programming language and is way too excited about it. Can't wait for the Hacker News thread where people debate whether C~slop is "production ready."

It May Be Slow But It's Useful

Python Programming

The Python community in a nutshell: a perfect bell curve distribution where the extremes agree on the same thing for completely different reasons. The beginners think Python is good because it's easy and reads like English. The experts think Python is good because they've already optimized everything with C extensions and numpy, so performance doesn't matter anymore. Meanwhile, the midwits in the middle are having an existential crisis about GIL limitations, execution speed, and why their script takes 5 seconds to import pandas. They've learned just enough to be dangerous and just enough to be annoyed. The real kicker? All three groups are right. Python IS slow and horrible. Python IS good. It's the Schrödinger's cat of programming languages—simultaneously productive and painful until you open the performance profiler.

Cobol Post

While everyone's fighting over whether React is better than Vue or if TypeScript is worth the hassle, COBOL developers are just sitting there eating their lunch, completely unbothered, making six figures maintaining banking systems from 1972. The language is older than most developers' parents, yet it still runs 95% of ATM transactions and 80% of in-person transactions. Banks literally can't find enough COBOL programmers, so they're paying obscene amounts to anyone who knows it. Meanwhile, the rest of us are rewriting our apps in the framework-of-the-month for the third time this year. Job security? More like job immortality. Those mainframes aren't going anywhere.

When You Accidentally Copy-Paste A C++ Function From StackOverflow Into Your Python File

When You Accidentally Copy-Paste A C++ Function From StackOverflow Into Your Python File

You know that moment when you're frantically searching StackOverflow for a solution and you're so deep in the copy-paste zone that you forget what language you're even working in? Yeah, showing up to your Python codebase dressed in full C++ armor with semicolons, angle brackets, and template declarations is exactly that kind of energy. Your IDE is staring at you like "bro, what are you doing?" while your linter has a complete meltdown trying to parse std::vector<int> in a language that thinks types are just friendly suggestions. The Python interpreter takes one look at those curly braces and just gives up on life. Props to whoever showed up to training in medieval armor though. That's commitment to being wildly inappropriate for the situation.

Python And Javascript Chat

Python Javascript Programming

Python walks into the room declaring it's "the JavaScript of programming languages" and JavaScript's response is a simple, confused "what?" The audacity. The sheer delusion. Python really thought comparing itself to JavaScript was a compliment. Both languages are everywhere, sure—but that's where the similarities end. Python devs are over here doing data science and AI while JavaScript devs are fighting CSS for the millionth time. The confusion is justified.

Backend Javascript Programming

Oh honey, the AUDACITY. The sheer BLASPHEMY of suggesting JavaScript is the best language for backend development just sent this kid straight to the orphanage. Like, sure, Node.js exists and all, but calling it the *best*? That's not just wrong, that's a war crime in the developer community. The Terminator here said "nope, not my child" and yeeted that relationship into the void faster than you can say "callback hell." Nothing says "I'm disowning you" quite like your mom being a backend dev and hearing you praise JS for server-side work. Python, Java, Go, C#, Rust—they're all sobbing in the corner while this kid just torpedoed their entire family tree with one cursed opinion. RIP to those foster parents, they never stood a chance.

Someone took the alternate timeline where Latin never died and ran with it. We've got fac numeri() (make number), per (for), pro (while), mon() (presumably console.log but in Roman), and re (return). The variables are prefixed with # like they're trending topics in ancient Rome. Honestly, if JavaScript had been invented by the Romans, we'd probably still be debugging it in 2024. Some things transcend language barriers—like writing a function that nobody will understand six months from now. At least with Latin you have the excuse that it's a dead language. What's JavaScript's excuse?

The eternal cycle of developer delusion. You spend years collecting programming languages like Pokémon cards, thinking each one adds to your market value. You build 30 projects on GitHub (half of them are "Hello World" in different frameworks, let's be honest). You're feeling confident, ready to cash in on all that hustle. Then you hit LinkedIn and reality slaps you harder than a null pointer exception. Entry-level positions want 5 years of experience in a framework that's been out for 3 years, plus they're choosing between you and 9,999 other developers who also know 6 languages and have 30 GitHub repos. The job market doesn't care about your polyglot status when there's an army of developers with identical résumés. It's like showing up to a sword fight and realizing everyone else also brought a sword. Welcome to tech in 2024, where being qualified is just the baseline for getting ghosted by recruiters.
