C/C++ is like that horror movie villain who keeps coming back no matter how many times you think they're dead. For decades, newer languages have shown up with their fancy garbage collection and memory safety, smugly declaring "this will kill C/C++." Meanwhile, C/C++ is just chilling at its own funeral, pointing at itself and grinning because it knows it'll still be running critical infrastructure when all these trendy languages are long forgotten. The language literally predates the internet and yet somehow still powers it. Try replacing those low-level drivers and operating systems with your shiny new language... I'll wait.

So you used to write beautiful comments explaining every function, every variable, every decision? Yeah, those were simpler times. Then ChatGPT dropped and suddenly your entire codebase became AI-generated spaghetti that you barely understand yourself. Now your "well-commented code" is just cryptic AI outputs with maybe a desperate "TODO: figure out what this does" thrown in. The innocence is gone. The trust is shattered. You're just a prompt engineer now, copy-pasting mysterious code blocks and praying they work. Welcome to the post-2022 developer experience where comments are a luxury from a bygone era and Stack Overflow feels like ancient history.

The architectural equivalent of "it works on my machine." Two bricklayers casually building a wall that's so structurally unsound it would make a civil engineer have a panic attack. The random brick placement is basically what your codebase looks like after six consecutive all-nighters fueled by energy drinks and desperation. This is technical debt incarnate – that moment when you know you're writing garbage code but deadlines are looming and the client is breathing down your neck. Sure, the app runs... in exactly the same way this wall "stands" – through sheer audacity and a complete disregard for the laws of physics/clean code principles. Future you will absolutely hate past you for this decision. But hey, that's a problem for Monday-morning you!
