The Good Ol' Days Of Instant Expertise
Nothing screams "I just discovered coding" like the complete transformation into a walking tech stereotype. One intro class and suddenly they're "dreaming in code," wearing Google hoodies, offering to "hack" things (which means opening inspect element), downloading every IDE known to mankind, plastering their laptop with framework stickers they've never used, and bombarding social media with screenshots of their first "Hello World." The digital equivalent of buying a guitar and immediately telling everyone you're in a band. Real developers just silently contemplate their existential dread while wondering why their code works.

It's Easy They Said
Python starts out all friendly and approachable, luring you in with its simple syntax and beginner-friendly reputation. "Look at me, I'm so easy to learn!" it says with that innocent dinosaur face. Then suddenly you're drowning in machine learning libraries, matrix math, and data mining frameworks that make calculus look like kindergarten finger painting. The learning curve isn't a curve at all—it's a vertical wall with spikes at the top. One day you're printing "Hello World," the next you're implementing neural networks while questioning your life choices.

The Real Programming Education Hierarchy
The eternal truth of coding education: beginners sit at the kids' table watching experienced devs explain complex concepts while some random Indian guy on YouTube teaches you how to actually build the damn thing in 10 minutes flat. No fancy bootcamp required—just a guy with an accent and a screen recorder saving your project at 2 AM.

Do You Speak Python?
Taking language learning advice too literally. While most people would chat with native speakers to learn French or Spanish, this poor soul is face-to-face with an actual python snake, probably whispering "print('Hello World')" and wondering why it's not responding with proper syntax errors. At least he's committed to immersion learning.

I Know What You Are
The CS freshman starter pack is brutally accurate! They write "Hello World" once and suddenly have 4 programming languages on their LinkedIn. Their entire development environment consists of VS Code and GitKraken because the terminal is "scary." Their idea of deployment? Submitting assignments through Canvas. They'll spend hours hunting for that missing semicolon while sharing Boromir memes, and their entire personality revolves around the Minecraft-inspired "noob vs pro" dichotomy. The gatekeeping begins before they've even built anything substantial!

Youtube Knowledge At Its Finest
Ah yes, the classic YouTube programming guru suggesting binary is easier than learning Unicode. Because nothing says "beginner-friendly" like manually typing 01001000 01100101 01101100 01101100 01101111 instead of just "Hello". And that 50% success rate is technically correct—the best kind of correct. Either it works or it doesn't. Just like how I have a 50% chance of winning the lottery: I either win or I don't. Flawless logic.

The Netflix Clone That Wasn't
The eternal struggle of every frontend dev: creating a Netflix clone with a grand total of one video element, brilliantly named "fight.mp4". Sure, you've got the filename netflix.html open in your editor, but that's where the similarities end! Nothing captures the wild optimism of developers quite like thinking you can recreate a billion-dollar streaming platform with a single HTML5 video tag. The gap between ambition and execution has never been so hilariously wide.

Roadmaps Are A Scam
Initially excited to help a coding newbie until they mention the dreaded R-word! Those 17-step "Frontend Roadmaps" with 47 frameworks, 23 build tools, and an arbitrary timeline that makes you question your life choices. Real devs know the truth: you learn by building stuff and Googling errors until 4am, not by following some color-coded flowchart that'll be obsolete before you finish reading it. The only accurate roadmap is: 1) Build something 2) Break it 3) Fix it 4) Repeat until employed.

Run Fast From The Java Explosion
Just committed the ultimate act of sabotage. Told my buddy to start with Java as their first language and now I'm flying away from the disaster zone like a happy little airplane. It's like handing someone a chainsaw when they asked for a butter knife. Sure, Java's powerful and employable, but watching a newbie wrestle with abstract factory pattern implementations before they understand what a variable is? *chef's kiss* Pure chaos. Could've suggested Python or JavaScript, but where's the fun in that? Some people just want to watch the world burn... or at least watch their friend's enthusiasm evaporate faster than RAM in a memory leak.

The Newbie Asking For Help On X
Asking for coding help on social media is like walking into a jungle full of predators. The cat (newbie) innocently asks about hunting mice (solving a simple problem), but gets bombarded with increasingly dangerous suggestions from the "experts." First the leopard dismisses the original approach entirely, then the tiger suggests deer (a completely different framework), and finally the lion recommends buffalos (an enterprise-level solution to a beginner problem). This is exactly what happens when you ask how to center a div and someone tells you to rewrite your entire app in Rust with a microservices architecture. The escalation is both hilarious and painfully accurate.

The Newbie Asking For Help On X
Asking for coding help on Twitter/X is like being a house cat who wants to hunt mice while surrounded by apex predators. The newbie asks an innocent question, and suddenly senior devs swoop in with increasingly complex alternatives that have nothing to do with the original problem. Junior: "How do I center a div?" 10x Engineer: "Nobody uses CSS anymore. Try this React component with styled-components." Staff Engineer: "Just migrate to Svelte." CTO: "We're rewriting everything in Rust and WebAssembly."

Just Read The Docs Bro
OH. MY. GOD. The absolute DRAMA of asking a simple coding question online! 💀 Left side: innocent newbie with puppy eyes asking for help in Python. Right side: the AUDACITY of these keyboard warriors telling you to "read the docs" like they were born understanding recursion! But PLOT TWIST! Bottom panel shows the rare unicorn who actually helps AND explains, getting a simple "thanks" while the rage-faces continue their existential meltdown about how you're "not a real programmer." The true heroes of StackOverflow are outnumbered by documentation-worshipping gatekeepers who'd rather die than explain a simple for-loop to a beginner. Heaven forbid someone asks how to center a div!
