Arduino Memes

Ah yes, the classic "I need to convert an integer to binary so let me just check the Arduino forums" rabbit hole. Sure, bitRead() exists, but why use a simple built-in function when you can waste 3 hours writing your own implementation, debugging it until 2AM, and then finally discovering the function that was there all along? The real meta here is that we all pretend Stack Overflow isn't our first stop. "I'll figure it out myself" is just code for "I'll try for 5 minutes before frantically googling and copy-pasting someone else's solution while muttering 'I knew that' under my breath."
