I Understand These Words

The eternal struggle of developers trying to help non-tech friends with their computers. You innocently type "npm install" to set up a cool project, and suddenly you're being accused of cyber espionage by someone who thinks command line = hacking. Nothing says "I'm a dangerous computer criminal" quite like installing a React todo app. The best part? Explaining that npm stands for "Node Package Manager" only makes you sound even more suspicious. Next time just tell them you're "downloading more RAM" – they'll believe that.

The eternal lie every VS Code user tells themselves. "Just one more extension and I'll be productive, I swear!" Meanwhile, IntelliJ users are watching from their fortress of integrated features, sipping coffee and judging silently. Truth is, we're all just trying to avoid actually writing code by endlessly customizing our environment. The plugin rabbit hole is deeper than any Stack Overflow thread you've ever fallen into.

Education: "Plagiarism is unacceptable!" Professional programmers: "Hey, I stole your code." "It's not my code." The software industry runs on an elaborate honor system where we pretend we're all brilliant architects while frantically copy-pasting from Stack Overflow with one hand and GitHub with the other. The modern developer's workflow is essentially: Google the error, find someone who solved it 7 years ago, adapt their solution, and convince yourself you would've eventually figured it out anyway. Standing on the shoulders of giants? More like piggybacking on strangers' brilliance while muttering "I totally knew that" under your breath.
