OpenGL Versus Vulkan Rendering

The top panel shows OpenGL rendering a triangle through three simple steps: creating a shader, loading a mesh, and drawing the triangle. The bottom panel shows Vulkan requiring a ridiculous number of complicated setup and synchronization steps to render the same triangle, parodying Vulkan’s notorious verbosity and complexity. It is used as a reaction to overengineered software or situations where a simple task requires endless configuration.
