Vibebugger: The Conference That Never Leaves Home

The eternal battle between developers and their RAM continues! This error message shows VS Code consuming a whopping 15GB of memory while Firefox has gone completely nuclear at 177GB. What's happening behind the scenes? VS Code is built on Electron, which essentially bundles an entire Chromium browser with your text editor. Each extension adds another layer of JavaScript execution, slowly transforming your lightweight code editor into a RAM-devouring monster. Meanwhile, Firefox has clearly transcended physical limitations by using more RAM than probably exists in the system. The irony is palpable - we're writing code to optimize memory usage while our tools are hoarding it like digital dragons.

A lonely C++ programmer stands in the corner of a party, nursing a drink while contemplating memory management strategies. Meanwhile, the "vibe coders" and "latest JavaScript framework coders" are having the time of their lives, blissfully unaware that pointers even exist. It's like watching someone who knows how engines work watching TikTokers who think cars run on magic and good vibes. The C++ dev silently judges while manually freeing memory that nobody else even knows they're allocating.

The guy playing ping pong with a door handle instead of a paddle is basically all of us diving into a new programming language without bothering to read the docs first. Sure, you could spend three hours reading proper syntax and best practices, or you could just start hacking away and Google error messages as they appear. Who has time for documentation when there's a deadline tomorrow and Stack Overflow exists? Ten years in the industry and I still find myself doing this. The cycle never ends - new framework drops, copy-paste some examples, break everything, fix it somehow, and suddenly you're an "expert" giving talks about it.

THE AUDACITY of modern apps! 😱 While society warns us not to ask women their age or men their salary, the REAL taboo question is asking developers why their precious app now requires 4GB when it used to fit on a floppy disk! 💾 Apparently, adding seventeen new frameworks, fourteen analytics libraries, and enough JavaScript to sink a battleship is TOTALLY necessary to display "Hello World" these days. But heaven forbid you get one extra button! That's scheduled for next year's bloatware update! 🙄

The AUDACITY of calling this a "gaming setup" when we all know it's actually "How many monitors does it take to convince your boss you're productive?" 😂 Let's be real - we're all stuck at #1 at home while claiming we have #6 in our LinkedIn profiles. And that #9 laptop? That's what we dramatically whip out at coffee shops to look important while secretly just checking email. The progression from single monitor peasant to six-screen overlord isn't about gaming - it's the developer's desperate cry for validation! "Look at all my terminals! I MUST be important!"

Finally, a social network where I can showcase my true skills: writing HTML tags that break in production but somehow work in dev. "CodedIn" - where your profile strength is measured by how many Stack Overflow questions you've copied without understanding. Connect with other developers who also pretend to know what they're doing.
