The Great Pyramid Of Overengineering
Ancient Egyptians built massive pyramids with nothing but stone tools and manpower. Meanwhile, modern developers need sixteen JavaScript frameworks, three cloud subscriptions, and a $3000 MacBook Pro with 64GB RAM just to center a div. And they still complain about the Wi-Fi being slow.

How TF Did They Build This Without Any Autocomplete
OH. MY. GOD. The absolute AUDACITY of ancient Egyptians building the pyramids without autocomplete?! 😱 The sheer willpower it must have taken to place each stone by hand without a helpful popup suggesting "buildPyramid()" or "placeStoneAtCoordinates(x,y,z)"! Meanwhile, I have a mental breakdown when my IDE crashes and I have to remember how to write a simple print statement from scratch. The horror! The trauma! Ancient civilizations were just built different—literally and figuratively. They didn't need Tab key suggestions to create architectural masterpieces, while I'm over here having an existential crisis when GitHub Copilot goes offline for 5 minutes. TRAGIC.

Debugging Regex: The Ancient Art Of Digital Archaeology
Oh. My. GOD. Trying to debug regex is LITERALLY like being an archaeologist deciphering ancient hieroglyphics with nothing but a magnifying glass and shattered dreams! You're squinting at a wall of cryptic symbols that might as well be alien transmissions, desperately trying to figure out why your pattern matches "hotdog" but not "hot dog" while slowly losing your will to live. And just when you think you've solved it? SURPRISE! It breaks in 17 new mysterious ways! The ancient Egyptians probably had an easier time communicating than developers trying to understand their own regex from last week. 🔍😭

Three Stages Of Debugging
Turns out debugging hasn't evolved since prehistoric times. First, you're on your knees begging the code to work. Then you're angrily waving tools at it like a maniac. Finally, you're just a hollow shell of a person, standing there defeated after realizing the bug was a missing semicolon. The ancient cave paintings don't lie—our ancestors understood the soul-crushing journey of finding that one stupid error that breaks everything. Some traditions never die, they just get rewritten in different programming languages.
