Code theft Memes

The shocking moment when you realize your colleagues aren't just referencing Stack Overflow—they're straight-up copying entire blocks of code. And here you thought "I found this solution online" was just a professional way of saying "I'm competent." Next you'll discover they don't actually read documentation either.

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!
