Oohhh there’s one more C vulnerability. Oh my gosh, what ever will I do? Should I buy a new smart toaster? I’m not sure. I just really don’t know what to do right now.

    I don't understand the behaviour behind "the language I'm using is better than X because it has option M and N"

    I was there not so long ago when Java was supposed to replace everything, and then C# came, and then Go but my pay was still handled by COBOL that was also supposed to be better.

      Programmers have some hyper optimization disease where they don’t see things clearly.
