Knock Knock, Who's—Oh Wait, Race Condition

race-condition-memes, concurrency-memes, multithreading-memes, bugs-memes, parallel-programming-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

Ah, the classic race condition joke that haunts every multi-threaded developer's nightmares!

Thread 1: "knock knock"
Thread 2: "who's there?"
Thread 1: "race condition"

But in reality, it executes as:
"knock knock"
"race condition"
"who's there?"

The punchline arrives before the setup—just like that bug that only appears in production at 3 AM when you're finally getting some sleep. Concurrency: where the answer might show up before you've even asked the question.

He Paid 44 Billion To Get Dunked On

The ultimate tech billionaire self-own! Elon confidently declares the Social Security database isn't de-duplicated, suggesting massive fraud... only to get absolutely demolished when someone points out he clearly has no idea how government databases work. The cherry on top? The "readers added context" feature on his own platform confirming that yes, the government does indeed use SQL. Nothing quite like spending $44 billion on a platform just so everyone can watch you get publicly schooled on basic database concepts. This is what happens when you skip Database 101 but still think you're qualified to critique government systems. Maybe next time Google "what is MySQL" before tweeting?
