Steal What Is Stolen

Steal What Is Stolen
OMG the DRAMA in the design world vs. the absolute CHILL of programmer nation! ๐Ÿ’… Designers are over here having MELTDOWNS over similar ideas like it's the end of civilization, while programmers are just casually confessing grand theft code and nobody bats an eye! The second programmer is basically saying "Bold of you to assume I wrote this myself" because let's be REAL - we're all just copying from Stack Overflow and GitHub like it's a cosmic buffet of free code. The entire software industry is basically a giant game of digital hot potato where nobody knows who baked the original potato! Why reinvent the wheel when someone's already posted a perfectly good wheel on GitHub with an MIT license? *hair flip*

Spent Years Learning Not To Copy Then Got Paid To Copy

THE AUDACITY! Spend your ENTIRE ACADEMIC CAREER having "copying is unacceptable" drilled into your skull, only to enter the workforce where programmers are literally PROUD of stealing code! ๐Ÿ’… That moment when one dev confesses "Bro, I copied your code" and the other just shrugs "It's not my code" is the ULTIMATE BETRAYAL of everything education promised! Meanwhile, StackOverflow and GitHub exist SOLELY so we can copy each other's solutions without having to think! The education system LIED TO US! Welcome to professional programming, where "copying" magically transforms into "code reuse" and "leveraging existing solutions" the second you get that paycheck! DRAMATIC GASP!
