Content HOW TO DEBUG YOUR CODE Start Is there a bug? Yes You're lying. Do you know the problem? No Try something random. Yes 7 Fix it. Did it work? Yes Did it create more bugs? Try and break something. No. Are you tired of debugging? No Yes Yes Your code is still buggy.

Oh. My. GOD. The absolute AUDACITY of this comic! 😂 First we're having a deep existential chat with an AI about our job security, feeling all smug that "humans do things robots can't" – and then BOOM! The plot twist that DESTROYS our fragile programmer egos! We've gone from respected professionals to literal ZOO EXHIBITS, trapped in "Coder-Town" while future families gawk at us fixing our own syntax errors like we're some kind of primitive species! The ultimate humiliation! And they're throwing CORN at us! CORN!!! As if we're not already dead inside from debugging our own spaghetti code! This is the tech apocalypse we truly deserve. Not with a bang, but with a semicolon in the wrong place. 💀

When you've been writing high-level code for months and suddenly Assembly language walks by with all those sexy direct hardware instructions. Meanwhile, C just stands there watching you betray your programming principles for a chance to manipulate memory addresses directly. Sure, you'll regret it when you're debugging segmentation faults at 2AM, but for now... that bare metal performance is just too tempting.

When they say "comment your code," I don't think they meant copying instructions from a pizza box. But honestly, this is more helpful than most comments I've seen in production. At least it's clear what you need to do! Unlike that one function named "doStuff()" with a comment that just says "magic happens here." If only debugging were as simple as opening a box before eating pizza—though both activities do tend to happen at midnight while questioning your life choices.
