Coding-without-ai Memes

Nothing quite like that moment when the WiFi gods decide to forsake your entire office and suddenly you transform from "just another developer" into THE CHOSEN ONE. While everyone else is standing around like confused NPCs waiting for ChatGPT to come back online, you're out here actually remembering how to write a for-loop from scratch. The junior devs are staring at you like you just performed actual sorcery because you can solve problems without asking an AI chatbot every 30 seconds. Plot twist: You're not actually that special—you just learned to code before AI became everyone's digital security blanket. But hey, let them worship you while the internet's down. Tomorrow when the network's back up, they'll be copy-pasting solutions faster than you can say "Stack Overflow" and you'll go back to being just another person in standup.
