Content C A programming language for Real Men. Most languages try to provide a simplified way to solve specific problems well. C makes no such concession and tries to be mediocre at everything. It lets you program at a very high level, and a very low level in the same program. It lets you write procedural code, object oriented code, generic code and mix them all up. It makes you decide everything and provides no help if you get it wrong. It is by far the biggest, most complicated, ugly, down-right dangerous language you can use. But it does run fast. It takes at least twice as long to program in C as any other major language (except C). The men who program in C are Real Men. The women who program in C are Real Men too. You can spot a C programmer from their testosterone fueled swagger, and the unbelievable amount of contempt they inject into the phrase Java "programmer". They'll probably do the air quotes and all.

This meme perfectly captures the two types of programmers in their natural habitat. The top panel shows the rejected approach: actually reading code and using brain cells to understand errors. The horror! Meanwhile, the bottom panel celebrates the true programming hero's journey: mindlessly changing random things until the error message changes. Why debug when you can play code roulette? It's like solving a Rubik's cube with a hammer – technically effective if you hit it enough times. The compiler isn't giving you errors; it's giving you suggestions on what to randomly change next!
