Type Safety Prevents Emotional Damage

The only relationship where getting errors is a sign of love. The Rust compiler might tell you that you're a complete failure who can't count parameters correctly, but at least it's consistent and helps you grow.

The Cycle Of Programmer Humor And Gatekeeping

The eternal cycle of programming humor in four panels: 1. Innocent brain thinks of a joke while browsing r/ProgrammerHumor 2. Posts contrived scenario about computers being annoying (because let's face it, that's 90% of our job) 3. Gets absolutely destroyed by gatekeeping veterans with comments like "HOW BAD ARE YOU, IS THIS YOUR FIRST DAY PROGRAMMING?!" 4. Vows to never post again And thus another potential contributor to open source dies before they even make their first PR. Tale as old as Stack Overflow.
