From Ambition To Insecurity: The Startup Speedrun

The evolution of a C++ developer's formatting skills in one perfect image. Top panel: the prehistoric way of formatting output with printf() and those cryptic format specifiers that feel like deciphering ancient hieroglyphics. Bottom panel: the enlightened approach using C++ streams with all those fancy manipulators that make your code look like you're conducting a symphony orchestra. It's like going from "I bash rocks together to make fire" to "I adjust the temperature on my smart thermostat with voice commands." Progress!

When someone claims they're "good in C," but their idea of writing code is literally arranging the letter 'c' to spell "Hello World." That's like saying you're fluent in Spanish because you can order a burrito at Chipotle. The painful irony is that actual C "Hello World" is just a few lines that any first-year student could Google in 5 seconds: #include <stdio.h> int main() { printf("Hello World"); return 0; } Yet here we are, watching someone flex their ASCII art skills instead of basic syntax knowledge. Classic interview self-destruction.
