Oh. My. GOD. The AUDACITY of those mythical beings who can just GLANCE at code and instantly grasp its entire functionality! 😱 The meme shows the GLORIOUS transformation from confused normie to absolute CODING DEITY - complete with sunglasses because your eyes need PROTECTION when you've achieved such enlightenment! The rest of us mere mortals are still stuck in the top panels, squinting desperately at the same function for 45 minutes before giving up and running it to see what happens. Who needs documentation when you're basically a programming PSYCHIC?!

OH. MY. GOD. The absolute AUDACITY of modern development! First frame: "Vibe Coding" - that blissful state where you're just writing whatever feels right, no tests, no reviews, just pure coding ecstasy! ✨ Second frame: *puts on glasses* "VULNERABILITY AS A SERVICE" - SUDDENLY you can see the horrifying security nightmares lurking in your beautiful code! It's like getting dressed for a hot date only to realize you've been wearing a "HACK ME PLEASE" t-shirt the entire time! 💀 The glasses of reality are BRUTAL, honey! One minute you're living your best coding life, the next you're basically running an all-you-can-exploit buffet for hackers!

The AUDACITY of calling this a "gaming setup" when we all know it's actually "How many monitors does it take to convince your boss you're productive?" 😂 Let's be real - we're all stuck at #1 at home while claiming we have #6 in our LinkedIn profiles. And that #9 laptop? That's what we dramatically whip out at coffee shops to look important while secretly just checking email. The progression from single monitor peasant to six-screen overlord isn't about gaming - it's the developer's desperate cry for validation! "Look at all my terminals! I MUST be important!"

That moment when your client emails a biblical scroll of "bugs" they found while using Internet Explorer 6 on their Windows XP fossil. Like Napoleon here, you're just staring into the abyss contemplating your life choices. What am I supposed to do? Build a time machine? The browser was discontinued in 2022 for a reason. No amount of CSS hacks or polyfills will save that trainwreck. But you'll still spend three days trying to fix it because the client pays your bills. Meanwhile, Chrome and Firefox users are having zero issues with your perfectly standards-compliant code.

Content Is it common for software engineers to take out their laptops on the train only to stare at it without doing anything? Well, yes... Legally, you have to or you'll lose vour license as a software engineer. LOL. But seriously, he just shut his laptop, opened it back up, pressed a button and resumed staring at it... Oh yeah! Now he's browsing his phone while staring.. It's called debugging. You stare at the code until it works again! Why do you guys get paid so much?
