Template-metaprogramming Memes

Someone really woke up and chose violence today. After surviving the trenches of C++ for years—battling segfaults, memory leaks, and template error messages that span 47 lines—they've earned the sacred right to roast their own language. And what do they do with this privilege? They unleash the most beautiful self-drag in programming history. The setup is *chef's kiss*: praising C++ for being efficient, powerful, safe, and modern with all those fancy new standards. But then reality hits like a dangling pointer—the bell curve reveals that only the absolute extremes (the 0.1% geniuses and the 0.1% chaos agents) think C++ is an abomination, while everyone in the middle is coping HARD, convincing themselves it's fine. It's giving Stockholm syndrome but make it object-oriented. The brutal truth? You either haven't used C++ long enough to understand the pain, or you've used it SO much that you've transcended to enlightenment and realized it's absolutely unhinged. No in-between. Just suffering with extra steps and undefined behavior.
