10x engineer Memes

The brain hits with the devastating mathematical truth bomb: what if your "10x engineers" aren't actually exceptional, but just regular (1x) developers... and you're just a pathetic 0.1x coder? That late-night realization when you're comparing your 500-line solution to someone's elegant 5-line fix. Suddenly all those Stack Overflow answers that seemed like wizardry make you question if you've been fooling yourself about your coding abilities this whole time. The coefficient of your programming self-worth just asymptotically approached zero.

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.
