WARNING! It's another stupid recursion meme

Oh. My. GOD. The bell curve of programmer distraction in its FULL GLORY! 📊 On the left, we have the 0.1% galaxy brains wasting PRECIOUS HOURS on tarot and witchcraft because "it seems interesting" when they should be fixing that production bug! 🔮✨ In the middle? The BLESSED NORMIES who actually focus on Node.js and Java because they're "required for the job." How BORINGLY RESPONSIBLE of them! 🙄 And then there's the right side - the ABSOLUTE MANIACS who dive into abstract algebra and mathematical theory with the chaotic energy of someone who hasn't slept in three days! "Usability be damned, I WILL understand category theory before I die!" 📚💀 The true tragedy? We're ALL on this curve somewhere, frantically learning things we'll NEVER use while our actual work sits untouched in a terminal somewhere!

Oh sweet merciful bytes! The blue wizard speaks the FORBIDDEN WORDS that have torn apart friendships and destroyed entire Stack Overflow threads! "HTML is a programming language" - the most SCANDALOUS statement in web development history! And just like that, our poor developer is TRAPPED in the most ancient holy war of the internet. Left? Right? There's NO ESCAPE from this syntactic purgatory! The sword of lies has claimed another victim!
