RAM – The Forgetful Girl, Loyal Yet Tragic
A Systemic Love Story: The Triangle Between RAM, CPU, and Dev 1. RAM and CPU: A One-Sided Love RAM is a lovable, loyal girl, but forgetful. She doesn’t make decisions. She simply listens to the CPU. But the CPU? He doesn't love RAM back. He’s a cold executor, doing exactly what Dev tells him to—even if it hurts her. 2. RAM Never Questions Anyone who gives an order, RAM obeys. "Store the value 5." — She does. "Forget 5, store 4 instead." — She does again. She doesn’t know who is Dev A or Dev B. Whoever comes last, wins. 3. RAM Can't Tell Friend From Foe Hackers can talk to her the same way Dev can. As long as they speak the correct address, pretending to be CPU: "Store this value, please." "Can I read that memory?" She obliges. Because RAM has no firewall, no judgment. Whoever controls CPU becomes her master. 4. RAM Only Remembers If You Ask Correctly Call the wrong address? She replies—with garbage. Access a variable out of scope? She won’t stop you. Touch a forbidden zone? She lets you—and then crashes. RAM doesn’t have intuition. Just addresses. And Dev keeps messing them up. 5. Dev's Carelessness Dev A: ptr = new int(5); Dev B: ptr = new int(4); RAM obeys both, but remembers the second. The value 5 is forgotten. No one deletes it. Memory leak. Dev A returns: "Why is ptr = 4?!" Dev B: "It’s my pointer!" RAM: "I just followed CPU's order..." 6. The Love Triangle in Multithreading Two CPUs work in parallel: CPU1: "Write 9 here!" CPU2: "No! Write 7!" RAM: "I... I wrote both..." Result: Random bugs, race conditions. No one can trace it. 7. Stack vs Heap: The Short-Lived Affair Stack: "I love you... just in this block. After that, I'm gone." Heap: "I'll remember you forever... unless Dev forgets to delete you." RAM remembers only what lives in the "active memory zone." Once out of scope or leaked, she still obeys — just wrongly. 8. Const, Volatile, and Dangling Const: "You can love me, but never change me." Volatile: "You don’t trust me. You ask me again every time." Dangling: "You keep calling me... even after I’ve been erased." 9. The Truth RAM is not stupid. She’s not disloyal. She’s just too obedient. Every bug stems from the fact that no one teaches CPU how to treat RAM right. And Dev? Still sipping coffee, blaming bugs on RAM while he writes the next pointer without care: "Ugh, this RAM is trash." Written in pain, not in theory. Based on real C++ heartbreaks.
A Systemic Love Story: The Triangle Between RAM, CPU, and Dev
1. RAM and CPU: A One-Sided Love
RAM is a lovable, loyal girl, but forgetful. She doesn’t make decisions. She simply listens to the CPU.
But the CPU? He doesn't love RAM back. He’s a cold executor, doing exactly what Dev tells him to—even if it hurts her.
2. RAM Never Questions
Anyone who gives an order, RAM obeys.
"Store the value 5." — She does.
"Forget 5, store 4 instead." — She does again.
She doesn’t know who is Dev A or Dev B. Whoever comes last, wins.
3. RAM Can't Tell Friend From Foe
Hackers can talk to her the same way Dev can. As long as they speak the correct address, pretending to be CPU:
"Store this value, please."
"Can I read that memory?"
She obliges. Because RAM has no firewall, no judgment. Whoever controls CPU becomes her master.
4. RAM Only Remembers If You Ask Correctly
Call the wrong address? She replies—with garbage.
Access a variable out of scope? She won’t stop you.
Touch a forbidden zone? She lets you—and then crashes.
RAM doesn’t have intuition. Just addresses. And Dev keeps messing them up.
5. Dev's Carelessness
Dev A: ptr = new int(5); Dev B: ptr = new int(4);
RAM obeys both, but remembers the second. The value 5 is forgotten. No one deletes it. Memory leak.
Dev A returns: "Why is ptr = 4?!" Dev B: "It’s my pointer!"
RAM: "I just followed CPU's order..."
6. The Love Triangle in Multithreading
Two CPUs work in parallel:
CPU1: "Write 9 here!"
CPU2: "No! Write 7!"
RAM: "I... I wrote both..."
Result: Random bugs, race conditions. No one can trace it.
7. Stack vs Heap: The Short-Lived Affair
Stack: "I love you... just in this block. After that, I'm gone."
Heap: "I'll remember you forever... unless Dev forgets to delete you."
RAM remembers only what lives in the "active memory zone." Once out of scope or leaked, she still obeys — just wrongly.
8. Const, Volatile, and Dangling
Const: "You can love me, but never change me."
Volatile: "You don’t trust me. You ask me again every time."
Dangling: "You keep calling me... even after I’ve been erased."
9. The Truth
RAM is not stupid. She’s not disloyal. She’s just too obedient.
Every bug stems from the fact that no one teaches CPU how to treat RAM right.
And Dev? Still sipping coffee, blaming bugs on RAM while he writes the next pointer without care:
"Ugh, this RAM is trash."
Written in pain, not in theory. Based on real C++ heartbreaks.
