The Great Index Compromise

arrays-memes, indexing-memes, programming-languages-memes, zero-indexing-memes, one-indexing-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

The eternal holy war of programming: zero-indexing vs one-indexing. Some languages start arrays at 0 (looking at you, C and friends), others insist on starting at 1 (MATLAB and Lua, you rebels). Then there's that one galaxy-brain developer who suggests starting at 0.5 as a "compromise." Because nothing says "I've solved computer science" like introducing floating point errors into your array indices. Next brilliant idea: using π as the starting index – because irrational numbers make PERFECT sense for memory addressing!

The Fundamental Difference Between Scientists And Computer Scientists

Regular scientists question why something works. Computer scientists stare blankly at their screens at 3AM wondering why their perfectly valid code refuses to run. Then it suddenly works without changing anything. Science has rules. Programming has mood swings.

Fixed Docker Build

The formal frog is making a grand announcement about the most trivial of victories - a PR that got merged with a single +1 and -0 change. That tiny diff is the programming equivalent of fixing a typo and acting like you've revolutionized the codebase. Docker builds are notoriously finicky, so when you finally get one working by changing literally one character, you absolutely deserve to announce it with the pomp and circumstance of an 18th century aristocrat. The build is fixed! The kingdom is saved! All hail the developer who added that missing semicolon!
