The Fastest Things On Earth

The Fastest Things On Earth
Ah, the eternal quest for speed. Cheetahs? Fast. Airplanes? Faster. Speed of light? Impressive. But nothing—and I mean nothing —breaks the sound barrier quite like that app you rewrote from Python to C++. After weeks of replacing those cozy, readable Python lines with pointer arithmetic and memory management nightmares, your application now runs so fast it's practically time-traveling. Sure, it took 10x longer to develop and the codebase is now an impenetrable fortress of segfaults waiting to happen, but hey—look at that progress bar maxed out! Worth every sleepless night debugging those memory leaks. Totally.

When Your Ferrari Gets Towed By C++

When Your Ferrari Gets Towed By C++
Python cruising along, feeling smug and waving at everyone... until C++ shows up with a tow truck. Sure, Python's easy to drive and looks flashy, but when performance matters, you're getting towed by compiled languages. That Ferrari isn't going anywhere fast with its interpreted engine. Speed limits exist for a reason, I guess.

The Caveman's Performance Flex

The Caveman's Performance Flex
Ah yes, the classic "my 1000-line C++ monstrosity is faster than your 10-line Python script" flex. Your C++ friend is standing there like a caveman who just discovered fire, proudly waving around their manually managed memory and pointer arithmetic while you're over there with Python like Dexter from Dexter's Laboratory, solving the same problem with elegant simplicity. Sure, their code runs 100x faster... after they spent 100x longer debugging segmentation faults and memory leaks. Meanwhile, you wrote your solution during your coffee break and went back to having an actual life. The real speed was the development time we saved along the way.
