Social anxiety Memes

So you've mastered pointers, memory management, and segmentation faults, but the moment someone mentions they code in JavaScript or Python, you suddenly need a manual on basic human interaction? Classic programmer move—spending years debugging C++ templates but completely freezing when faced with actual social protocols. The irony here is delicious: you can architect complex systems and handle the most arcane programming concepts, yet starting a conversation with fellow devs feels like trying to compile code without a compiler. Bonus points if you're that person who codes in Assembly or Rust and secretly judges everyone else's "easy mode" language choices while simultaneously having zero idea how to say "hello" without making it awkward. Pro tip: They're just people who chose garbage collection over manual memory management. They won't bite. Probably.

The quiet, reserved programmer who barely speaks during client meetings suddenly transforms into a feral beast when surrounded by fellow code monkeys. Nothing unleashes the inner wolf like debating tabs vs spaces or why someone committed directly to main. The facade of professionalism crumbles faster than a production server during a demo when you're among your own kind. Non-technical folks think we're shy introverts, but they've never witnessed the bloodbath of a code review where someone used nested ternaries.
