Return True (But Make It Complicated)

programming-memes, boolean-logic-memes, overengineering-memes, code-complexity-memes, modulo-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

When someone asks what you do for a living, and your brain immediately jumps to the most unnecessarily complex implementation possible. Like, congratulations on writing a function that could be replaced with return number % 2 == 0, but sure, let's hardcode ten separate conditions because that's definitely maintainable. Nothing says "I'm a programmer" quite like turning a one-liner into a nightmare that future you will curse at 2 AM during a production outage.

The OS Intelligence Horseshoe Theory

The great OS debate, visualized as an IQ bell curve. On the left side, we've got the "I need Linux for programming" crowd—the beginners who think installing Ubuntu makes them elite hackers. In the middle, at the peak of intelligence, are the pragmatists who just want an OS that helps them ship code without fighting their tools. Then on the right, we loop back to "I need Linux for programming" again—but this time it's the bearded terminal wizards who've customized their Arch install to the point where only they can use it. After 15 years in this industry, I've learned the hard truth: the best OS is whichever one lets you focus on solving actual problems instead of configuring your damn package manager. But we'll all keep having this fight until the heat death of the universe anyway.
