Syntax highlighting Memes

Ah yes, the classic "programming languages are for humans" revelation that hits like a truck when you've been staring at assembly code for 12 hours straight. The bus driver's threat perfectly captures that senior dev energy when explaining to newbies why we need syntax highlighting, proper indentation, and comments. Meanwhile, somewhere a C++ developer is writing code that looks like someone headbutted the keyboard, muttering "it's perfectly readable" while their coworkers silently update their resumes.

The classic developer delusion cycle. Start with a lightweight text editor thinking you'll be the next keyboard ninja. Three plugins later, you've turned your sleek editor into a resource-hogging circus that takes longer to start than a Monday morning standup. The transformation is complete when you're staring at the loading screen wondering why you didn't just install the bloated IDE you were avoiding in the first place.
