The Two Wolves Inside Every Programmer

The ETERNAL DUALITY of a programmer's soul! On one side, we're embracing the elegant simplicity of established data structures like binary trees for problem-solving. On the other side, we're POSSESSED by the absolutely DERANGED delusion that we'll build an entire game engine from scratch—as if our weekends aren't already sacrificed to debugging semicolons! The audacity! The hubris! The inevitable 3 AM breakdown when you realize your "revolutionary" engine can barely render a square without crashing! Yet here we are, cycling between these two extremes like some kind of computational bipolar disorder. It's not a phase, it's a LIFESTYLE.

The Modern Error Handler

Ah, the modern developer's workflow. Empty try block, followed by a catch that just calls OpenAI to fix whatever broke. Why debug your own code when you can outsource your incompetence to an AI? Next up: a ChatGPT plugin that automatically adds this snippet to all your repositories. Efficiency through surrender.

I'm Afraid To Talk To People Using Programming Languages Like Javascript Or Python

So you've mastered pointers, memory management, and segmentation faults, but the moment someone mentions they code in JavaScript or Python, you suddenly need a manual on basic human interaction? Classic programmer move—spending years debugging C++ templates but completely freezing when faced with actual social protocols. The irony here is delicious: you can architect complex systems and handle the most arcane programming concepts, yet starting a conversation with fellow devs feels like trying to compile code without a compiler. Bonus points if you're that person who codes in Assembly or Rust and secretly judges everyone else's "easy mode" language choices while simultaneously having zero idea how to say "hello" without making it awkward. Pro tip: They're just people who chose garbage collection over manual memory management. They won't bite. Probably.
