The perfect programmer posture.

Non-programmers imagine us locked in epic battles over algorithm efficiency like Godzilla vs Kong, debating the merits of our custom sorting implementations. Meanwhile, our actual bloodsport?

Physicists spend decades unraveling the mysteries of the universe, publishing papers nobody reads, and surviving on ramen... only to watch some CS grad who taught a computer to play tic-tac-toe walk away with the Nobel. That sideways glance of existential despair is every physicist who just realized they picked the wrong major. Meanwhile, CS folks are too busy counting their tech stock options to even notice they won.
