The eternal identity crisis of C# in a nutshell! Poor Luigi of programming languages gets mistaken for "Microsoft Java" by its own family. The irony is delicious considering Microsoft literally created C# as their answer to Java after their Java implementation got legally smacked. Now C# is that awkward cousin who has to constantly remind everyone "No, I'm NOT just Java with training wheels." Yet the family resemblance is... undeniable.

Ah, the classic Windows 11 anime girl who judges your hardware specs and practically begs you to upgrade. She's that pushy OS personified - judging your "obsolete computer" while insisting she's too "advanced" for your pathetic machine. Fast forward to when you finally buy a new rig, and she's all excited... until you drop the Linux bomb. That look of utter betrayal when you choose the penguin over her proprietary nonsense? Priceless. After 20+ years in tech, nothing's more satisfying than watching Windows' market share slowly erode while it desperately adds more telemetry and rounded corners. Your PC, your choice - and sometimes that choice is freedom from nagware with an attitude problem.

Spent 15 years watching Windows get progressively hungrier for RAM while Linux just keeps chugging along efficiently. The buff Tom vs. beaten-up Tom meme perfectly captures it - 4GB on Linux? Absolutely jacked, ready to compile kernels and run servers without breaking a sweat. Meanwhile, Windows with 16GB is still gasping for air after opening Chrome and Outlook. Four times the RAM and Windows still struggles like it's running on a potato. Classic Microsoft bloat - where every "optimization" somehow requires more resources than the last version. And yet we keep paying for the privilege of watching that blue loading circle...

The existential crisis when VS Code asks if you trust yourself. Sure, I wrote this code, but do I trust it? Hell no. That's future me's problem when it inevitably breaks in production. The suspicious side-eye is exactly how I look at my own commit history - like finding a ticking time bomb I planted and forgot about.
