The eternal battle between sophisticated debugging tools and the humble print statement. When faced with a complex bug, we all pretend we'll use those fancy debuggers with breakpoints and stack traces. Then reality hits and we're just throwing print("test") statements everywhere like a medieval knight charging into battle with nothing but a shield and pure audacity. Sure, IDEs offer us the programming equivalent of nuclear weapons, but sometimes you just want to stab the problem with a pointy stick and see what leaks out. The simplest solution is often the most reliable—especially when you're on your 5th coffee and deadline was yesterday.

Ah, the classic programmer joke about array indexing! The medal shows "1 Place" but someone cuts out the "1" to make it "0 Place" - because in most programming languages, arrays start at index 0, not 1. The programmer's smug face in the final panel says it all. He's not celebrating second place, he's celebrating the technically correct place. This is peak programmer pedantry that only true code jockeys would appreciate. The kind of person who'd correct you mid-conversation about proper variable naming conventions.
