In Avengers: Age of Ultron, Ultron often mentions there being no strings. This is a subtle nod to the fact that computers only see char arrays.

The duality of a programmer's existence in one perfect Simpsons meme. When I'm reviewing someone else's garbage fire of a codebase, I transform into some kind of optimization wizard—spotting inefficiencies, refactoring opportunities, and architectural flaws with laser precision. "Just use a hash map instead of that nested loop, you animal!" But when it's time to write my own code? Suddenly I'm staring at a blank editor like it's written in hieroglyphics. My brain just... stops. That brilliant algorithm I had in the shower? Gone. That elegant solution? Vanished. Just me, my impostor syndrome, and a blinking cursor judging my existence.

The eternal battle between compilation time and coffee breaks! While we're all busy pretending to wait for C++ to compile so we can scroll Reddit, TypeScript/JavaScript devs are out here ruining the sacred tradition with their interpreted languages. The conspiracy board in the background perfectly represents the chaotic thought process of someone trying to justify why their build still needs 20 minutes in 2023. "But optimization takes time!" Yeah, and so does my third coffee, thank you very much.
