Abort Unless Comp Sci

Classic tech parent logic: "My son isn't following my prescribed career path, so I'll just... *checks notes*... hack his social media and threaten digital dismemberment." Because nothing says "I support your dreams" like threatening to glue your kid's fingers to a keyboard. The true "Hello World" of parenting - print("disappointment"). That 833.2K like count suggests a disturbing number of people thinking, "Hmm, forcible CS education... not the worst idea I've heard today."

We Teach A Million Languages In 3 Months

Ah yes, the classic "$800,000 bootcamp" that promises to transform you into a software engineer in just 3 months by teaching you *checks notes* approximately 87 programming languages, including some that barely exist anymore. Nothing says "legitimate education" like cramming Fortran, COBOL, and Assembly alongside React and TypeScript into 90 days. The "if you can't find a job you can spit on our faces" guarantee is the cherry on top of this scam sundae. Spoiler alert: The only thing you'll master in 3 months is how to lose $800K faster than a startup with free snacks and ping pong tables.

Yeeeees Explain This To My Professor

OH. MY. GOD. The AUDACITY of universities thinking that scribbling some pathetic pseudocode on dead trees somehow transforms us into coding wizards! 💅 Honey, real programmers are out here battling runtime errors at 2AM, drowning in energy drinks, and questioning their life choices—not writing pretty little algorithms with a #2 pencil! The compiler doesn't care about your neat handwriting, KAREN! It's like trying to learn swimming by drawing water. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS! Next they'll have us building websites by folding origami. I CANNOT EVEN! 😩

The Road Not Taken

Two doors. One leads to "Working on Real-World Projects" and stands completely empty. The other leads to "Next AI/Data Bootcamp" with a line stretching to the horizon. Everyone's rushing to become the next AI guru while actual project experience collects dust. The tech industry's version of a Black Friday sale – except what they're fighting for is just another certificate to add to their LinkedIn profile.

The Interstellar Difficulty Curve Of Programming Exams

The AUDACITY of programming courses! First panel: "Here's a cute little automatic transmission for class" - so basic a toddler could drive it. Second panel: "Now for homework, try this fancy manual stick shift" - slightly challenging but manageable. Third panel: "FOR THE EXAM? SURPRISE! We expect you to pilot an ENTIRE SPACECRAFT with 500 unlabeled buttons and no instruction manual!" The educational equivalent of asking someone to build a nuclear reactor after teaching them how to change a light bulb. The difficulty curve isn't a curve—it's a VERTICAL WALL OF DOOM!

Parents' Perfect Programming Paradox

Parents thinking they can stop a coding student by taking away devices is like trying to stop a fish from swimming by removing the bathtub. That smug face says it all—"You've merely removed my distractions. Now I have nothing to do BUT code." The irony is delicious. Non-technical parents never understand that for software engineering students, the devices aren't the problem—they're literally the homework. It's like confiscating a chef's knives and saying "now go practice cooking!"

Introductory Python: The Most Literal Programming Course

Introductory Python: The Most Literal Programming Course

Remote Python bootcamp, day one. The instructor is still explaining whitespace indentation while two students have already imported their first modules. That's the thing about Python courses - half the class is struggling with "Hello World" while the other half is busy creating sentient reptiles. Eight years as a tech lead and I still can't decide if Python is dangerously accessible or brilliantly named. Either way, the snake-to-code ratio in this classroom is perfectly balanced.

I Wish I Could Code At The Speed I Watched My CS Lectures On YouTube

The great irony of CS education: spending countless nights at 2AM watching your professor drone on about data structures at 2x speed, only to find yourself taking 3 hours to write a simple for loop the next day. Your brain has evolved to process information at chipmunk-voice velocity, but your fingers still type at the pace of a sleepy sloth. If only coding skills scaled with lecture playback speed, we'd all be 10x developers by now. Instead, we're just people who get annoyed when podcasters talk too slowly.

Introductory Python Course: The Most Literal Interpretation

OH. MY. GOD. The most literal Python course in existence! 🐍 Someone took "learning Python" to a WHOLE NEW LEVEL of danger! Two actual snakes attending class while their instructor stands on a chair (smart move, buddy). The snakes are just sitting there like "Yessss, I'd like to learn about my namesssake language." Meanwhile, that laptop is about to experience the most terrifying pair programming session in history. I'm DYING at how these reptiles probably understand indentation better than half the CS graduates I know! The instructor is definitely regretting that "hands-on learning experience" line in the job description right now. 💀

JavaScript: The New Capital Punishment

The ultimate punishment isn't solitary confinement—it's forced JavaScript training! Finnish prison rehabilitation just got real with the judge sentencing criminals to two years of callback hell, prototype inheritance, and "undefined is not a function" errors. The prisoner's face says it all: that moment when you realize your crime only warranted a misdemeanor but somehow you're getting punished with learning hoisting and closures. At least in regular prison you just break rocks instead of trying to figure out why this keeps changing context. The real torture? Waiting for npm packages to install on prison wifi.

Paper Coding Won't Make You A Programmer

Ah yes, the classic university delusion where professors think coding on dead trees somehow prepares you for real development. Nothing says "industry-ready" like frantically scribbling syntax errors you can't compile, while the real world uses IDEs with autocomplete, Stack Overflow, and the sweet embrace of copy-paste. Four years of education and somehow they missed the memo that programmers haven't coded on paper since punch cards went extinct. But sure, let's pretend your handwritten bubble sort algorithm without syntax highlighting is preparing the next generation of tech innovators.

The Cybersecurity Instructor Paradox

Security Programming

4 months ago 126.1K views 0 shares

The eternal cybersecurity dilemma: Do you pick the instructor with "45 years experience" who supposedly "invented the term cybersecurity" (which would make them practically ancient given that the term only gained traction in the 1990s)? Or do you go with the suspiciously vague guy whose entire resume is basically "trust me bro"? Ironically, the second guy is probably the better choice. Anyone who claims to have "invented cybersecurity" is likely embellishing their credentials harder than a LinkedIn profile during job hunting season. Meanwhile, the vague instructor might actually be a reformed hacker who knows all the real tricks but can't legally disclose his past work!
