The Copy-Paste Conspiracy

That moment when you copy-paste the instructor's code and it still doesn't work. Is it the invisible spaces? The quotation marks? The cosmic alignment of semicolons? The cat's expression perfectly captures that mix of confusion and betrayal when your IDE lights up with errors despite following instructions exactly. Pro tip: teachers sometimes deliberately include subtle errors in their examples to see who's actually typing the code themselves versus who's just copying. Sneaky, but effective!

Real 10X Engineer

Oh. My. GOD. The AUDACITY of this regex wizard! 🧙‍♂️ Writing regex without Googling is basically the programming equivalent of performing open-heart surgery blindfolded while riding a unicycle across Niagara Falls! Even the prison guard is SHOOK to his core! This isn't just a 10X engineer—this is a PSYCHOPATH with supernatural powers who probably also remembers all their passwords and doesn't cry when merging conflicts. The rest of us mortals are over here frantically copy-pasting from Stack Overflow like it's oxygen, and this mad genius is out here FREESTYLE REGEX-ING?! I need to lie down.

Madness Or Brilliance

Every developer knows that proper debugging tools exist. And yet, there we are at 3 AM, littering our code with console.log() statements like breadcrumbs in a forest of bugs. Sure, it's primitive. Sure, your senior developer is judging you. But when that random string finally prints exactly where you expected it to, you feel like a goddamn genius. It's not elegant, but it gets the job done—just like duct tape on a space station.

Sounds A Bit Simple

Top panel: Normal human being using proper random modules like a functioning member of society. Bottom panel: The unhinged developer who thinks return 4 is a perfectly acceptable random number generator because "it was randomly chosen by me, so technically it's random." Somewhere in production, a critical system is running on hardcoded "randomness" and nobody has noticed yet.
