First They Came For The Em Dashes

OMG, this is the MOST DRAMATIC poem of programmer persecution complex I've ever seen! 😭 It's a parody of the famous "First they came..." Holocaust poem but about PUNCTUATION and CODING, which is just SO EXTRA I can't even! The meme tragically chronicles the downfall of civilization through typography—first the em dashes (—) disappear, then the artists, then writers, until finally... THE PROGRAMMERS! And by then there's no one left to create a Stack Overflow thread about it! The absolute TRAGEDY of it all! *faints dramatically onto keyboard*

The Perfect Triple Pun Doesn't Exi-

The perfect triple pun doesn't exi— This tweet is playing with the names of three popular game engines: Unreal, Unity, and Godot. It's saying "It's unreal how much unity there's in godot ..." while actually talking about game development. Like finding a unicorn in your codebase - a pun that works on multiple levels without crashing. The rare instance where a developer's wordplay doesn't need debugging.

Rust Is Named After A Fungus And Python Is Named After A Comedy Group

MY ENTIRE PROGRAMMING LIFE HAS BEEN A LIE! 😱 Here I am thinking Rust is named after that horrifying orange corrosion that eats metal alive, with its edgy "memory safety" branding, but NOOOO—it's named after some obscure fungus?! And Python?! I spent YEARS believing it was named after those terrifying reptiles that squeeze the life out of their prey (just like Python code squeezes the life out of my CPU), but it's actually named after Monty Python?! The comedy group?! What's next? Is JavaScript actually named after someone's pet goldfish named "Java" who liked to follow "scripts" of swimming patterns?! I CAN'T EVEN TRUST PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE NAMES ANYMORE! 💀
