Poor Kids Thrown Into The Legacy Code Abyss

OH. MY. GOD. The absolute TRAGEDY of spending 30 HOURS automating a task that takes 3 MINUTES to do manually! But darling, that's the hill we die on! 💅 The banner says it ALL: "We do this not because it is easy, but because we thought it would be easy." The AUDACITY of our optimism! The DELUSION of our time estimates! Sure, I could just do the task 600 times manually before breaking even on my automation investment, but where's the DRAMA in that? The THRILL of overengineering? The pure ECSTASY of writing a script that will save me time in some hypothetical future that will never come?!

Content have computer issue google issue reddit thread recommends program that does the exact thing i need github link oh no "open source" OH NO no exe install instructions are 1000 words can only be run via cmd download doesn't include dependencies "how to use" is even longer than install instructions ten million commands that does shit no one has ever needed name of program is "issue fixer" to fix issue you need a 200 word command fuck this go back to reddit thread "just change this registry key" go to reg.edit change a single "enable" to "disable" problem instantly fixed why the fuck is every single github program so bloated and non-user friendly? if your program doesnt have a UI or at the very least a fucking exe your degree should be revoked

The modern developer dichotomy in its full glory! Up top we've got the polished, well-groomed developers who just copy-paste from Stack Overflow, Google search results, and ask ChatGPT to fix their bugs. Meanwhile, the documentation readers below look like they've been coding for 72 hours straight, sustained purely by Monster Energy and sheer determination. Reading docs is apparently the programming equivalent of staring into the void until the void stares back. The best part? Those documentation demons probably write better code than the rest of us combined. Choose your fighter: pretty but dependent, or unhinged but powerful.

First you learn to program. Then you make a recursive function. Then you forget the exit condition. And then... well, you get the idea. Or rather, you get the same idea over and over until your stack overflows and your computer begs for mercy. It's like telling someone "to understand recursion, you must first understand recursion" and watching them slowly spiral into madness.

Ah yes, the sacred programmer ritual of typing "return" correctly on the first try. Top panel: Rejecting the boring, correct "return" keyword like it's some kind of personal insult. Bottom panel: Enthusiastically embracing every possible misspelling—retrun, reunt, reutn, reutnr, erunt—like they're long-lost friends. The true mark of a senior developer isn't knowing design patterns or algorithms—it's how creatively you can butcher simple keywords while typing at 100 WPM with the confidence of someone who definitely didn't just break the entire codebase.
