Tired Memes

You know what's hilarious? C/C++ devs spent decades perfecting their craft, mastering memory management, understanding the dark arts of pointer arithmetic, and building intricate build systems with Make, CMake, Autotools, and whatever other arcane configuration nightmare they could conjure up. And now? They just stare blankly at their screens like they've seen the void itself. Why defend a build system that requires a PhD to configure when you could just... not? The younger devs roll in with their cargo build and npm install and suddenly the 20-line Makefile that took you three days to write feels like overkill. The exhaustion is real. Sometimes you just accept defeat and move on.
