Nostalgia For A Time You Have Never Experienced

unix-memes, retro-computing-memes, ai-anxiety-memes, programming-history-memes, c-language-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

This meme is peak programmer time travel fantasy! It's portraying the classic "wake up from a coma" trope where our modern dev suddenly finds himself in the golden age of computing (70s/80s) with two Unix beard legends telling him all his 2023 AI anxiety was just a bad dream. ChatGPT? Devin AI? Job losses? Nope, none of that exists - instead, let's do something actually meaningful like rewriting Unix in C! The irony is delicious - modern devs romanticizing an era of limited computing power, punch cards, and no Stack Overflow as somehow more "pure" than our current AI-assisted coding hellscape. Nothing says programmer nostalgia like yearning for a time when debugging meant actual physical switches and you had to wait overnight for your code to compile.

Correct Yes, it does Seems right to me git' is not a git command
