C++ Programmers Weigh Abstraction

Text on the meme

C++ programmers measure the cost of their abstraction

What it means

A video alternates between a snack being placed on a kitchen scale and a bearded man in glasses reacting with exaggerated satisfaction. The caption jokes that C++ programmers measure the “cost” of abstraction literally, using the chip’s negligible weight as the punchline. The clip is set to the choir version of “Like a Prayer” by I’ll Take You There Choir, whose dramatic, uplifting music heightens the absurdity and makes the tiny measurement feel comically momentous.
