The lifecycle of a C programmer in three Reddit posts: First: "Do you guys even like C?" - The honeymoon phase where you question your life choices after encountering your first segmentation fault. Then: "I'm beginning to like C" - Stockholm syndrome kicks in. You've accepted that memory management is your new unpaid part-time job. Finally: "How do you find libraries in C?" - The desperate plea of someone who's spent 6 hours trying to parse a JSON string without external help. Welcome to dependency hell, where the libraries are scarce and the documentation is optional.

The C++ Olympic gold medalist celebrates victory in the first 5 panels, only to get absolutely destroyed by Rust in the final frame. Classic story of our industry - spend decades mastering pointer arithmetic and manual memory management, then some new language comes along with a borrow checker and suddenly you're obsolete. C++17 promised better memory safety features, but let's be honest - it's like putting a band-aid on a chainsaw wound. Meanwhile Rust sits on the podium smugly preventing segfaults at compile time while every other garbage-collected language watches from second place. Ten years of debugging dangling pointers and suddenly I'm supposed to learn ownership semantics? Fine, I'll update my resume.
