Copy paste Memes

The true horror isn't monsters under your bed—it's dreaming about your mom writing Lua code in Microsoft Word and then copy-pasting it into online compilers. And somehow this nightmare was so viscerally realistic that your friend thinks you're describing something that actually happened. That's the kind of psychological damage that makes senior devs wake up in cold sweats at 3 AM. The combination of Word's auto-formatting destroying code indentation and a parent discovering programming in the most chaotic way possible? Pure developer trauma fuel.

Who needs a fancy degree when you've got StackOverflow and a concerning caffeine addiction? The modern developer's education consists of frantically Googling error messages at 2AM, copying GitHub solutions we don't fully understand, and somehow convincing both ourselves and our employers that we know what we're doing. The best part? We're getting paid while the med school grads are still paying off loans. Call it impostor syndrome or call it genius - either way, my code compiles... sometimes.

Ah, the mythical regex hero. After 20 years in this industry, I've seen developers brag about everything from their keyboard shortcuts to their Docker optimization skills. But writing regex without Googling? That's like claiming you've memorized pi to 100 digits—technically possible but absolutely nobody believes you. The truth is, we all copy-paste regex from Stack Overflow, then spend the next hour trying to understand what the hell we just implemented. Even the most senior among us are just one character away from creating an accidental infinite loop that brings production to its knees. Next you'll tell me you can configure Nginx from memory too, you magnificent unicorn.

Oh, the sweet sound of hypocrisy hitting every programmer right in the Stack Overflow! This meme perfectly captures that moment when we realize our entire career is basically professional Googling. While doctors spend 8+ years in med school, we're over here with 47 browser tabs open, frantically copying code snippets and praying they work. The monkey's side-eye is literally every developer when someone asks "how did you figure that out?" and we have to decide whether to admit it was a random GitHub repo we found at 3am. The truth hurts, but at least we have dark mode to hide our shame in!
