The Universal Handshake Of Creative Theft

The handshake between Mr. Krabs and Patrick Star perfectly symbolizes the unspoken alliance of suffering that programmers and artists share. While we're busy arguing about tabs vs. spaces or RGB vs. CMYK, some CEO is slapping their name on our 2AM caffeine-fueled creation. Nothing quite builds solidarity like watching your Git commits or Photoshop layers get repackaged as "executive vision." The real kicker? The stolen code probably runs better than when I wrote it, but that's beside the point.

Stolen Code

The eternal cycle of software development. When someone compliments your code, there are only two possibilities: you spent weeks perfecting it, or you found it on Stack Overflow five minutes ago.

I Made This

Oh my gosh, the infinite loop of code theft! 😂 First StackOverflow gives ChatGPT all its knowledge, then ChatGPT claims it made it. Then a programmer steals from ChatGPT and proudly declares "I made this!" Only for the code to eventually make its way back to StackOverflow! It's the perfect representation of the modern dev cycle: copy from StackOverflow → paste into ChatGPT → ask for improvements → copy to your project → claim full credit in your performance review! The circle of code life!
