Not Too Wrong

7 days ago 143.2K views 0 shares

The student wrote that the length of "Monday" is 24 hours, and honestly, they're onto something. Technically wrong in programming (it should be 6 characters), but philosophically correct for anyone who's survived a Monday in the tech industry. That first day back to seeing 300+ GitHub notifications and Slack messages feels exactly like it's 24 hours long. The teacher marked it wrong, but they've clearly never deployed code on a Friday and spent their Monday fixing the aftermath.

Python Goes Brrrrrrrrrr

The cool kid on the right just discovered you can multiply strings in Python with * operator. Meanwhile, the purist on the left is having an existential crisis because in most other languages, this would trigger a compiler error and possibly a stern code review comment. But Python's like "Yeah, 'br' * 10? Here's your 'brrrrrrrrr'. You're welcome."

Python Goes BRRRRRRRRRR

When normal programmers tell you that concatenating strings with + is the way to go, Python devs just smugly hit you with that 'b' + 'r'*10 syntax. String multiplication? Absolute madness to some languages, Tuesday morning to Pythonistas. The cool kid with sunglasses knows what's up—why write ten r's when you can just multiply that bad boy? Meanwhile, the horrified traditionalist can't believe this syntactic sugar is legal. It's like watching someone put pineapple on pizza while coding.

Rookie Error

The ultimate type-checking nightmare! Boolean questions should return true/false, not "maybe", "sometimes", or the dreaded string response. It's like asking "Is the server running?" and getting back "Well, it's Tuesday and Mercury is in retrograde..." Somewhere, a strongly-typed language is crying. The face perfectly captures that moment when you realize you'll need to add an extra validation layer because someone thought "Yes" and true were interchangeable. Classic rookie move that haunts even senior devs during code reviews.

Midnight Palindrome Revelations

Your brain at 2AM deciding it's the perfect time to contemplate string palindromes. For the uninitiated, a palindrome reads the same backward as forward, like "racecar." So "()" isn't a palindrome (it becomes ")(" when reversed), but "()(" is indeed a palindrome (still "()(" when reversed). The kind of useless revelation that guarantees you'll stare at the ceiling for another hour questioning your life choices and wondering if you should just get up and code something.

Monday.length = Eternal Suffering

Ah, the classic confusion between programming logic and real-world logic! The student was asked to find the length of the string "Monday" (which is 6 characters), but instead interpreted it as the literal length of a day (24 hours). Whoever graded this deserves a special place in debugging hell for marking it wrong. I mean, technically it's 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.1 seconds if we're being astronomically pedantic. And if it's a Monday, it feels like 72 hours minimum.

C Strings Are Not Safe

Someone searching for "c++ c style strings" with SafeSearch turned OFF. Just like C strings with no bounds checking, this search is about to overflow with exactly the kind of memory corruption you weren't expecting. Nothing says "living dangerously" like null-terminated arrays and unfiltered search results.

What Is Age Really

The classic "age is just a number" platitude gets a perfect programmer's twist. In JavaScript and many other languages, what looks like a number is often silently converted to a string when you least expect it. That smug face in the third panel is every backend dev who's spent hours debugging why 18 + 1 = 181 instead of 19 . Type coercion: ruining perfectly good calculations since 1995.

Darth JavaScript: When Math Becomes A String Theory

Ah, JavaScript's type coercion strikes again! The top panel shows the horror of seeing 1 + 1 + 1 = 111 instead of 3. The middle panel reveals the dark side of the force: adding quotation marks turns numbers into strings, causing concatenation instead of addition. This is why senior devs wake up screaming at night. In JavaScript, "1" + "1" + "1" happily gives you "111" because strings gonna string. Meanwhile, proper languages are watching from a distance, shaking their heads in disappointment. The final panel shows the acceptance phase of grief that every JS developer eventually reaches. You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain who writes parseInt() everywhere just to be safe.
