Generational Memes

GASP! The sacred campfire tale that sends shivers down the spines of Gen Alpha developers! 😱 A mythical creature who can actually code WITHOUT asking ChatGPT for help?! The horror! The absolute SCANDAL! The juniors sit there, mouths agape, clutching their mechanical keyboards in terror as the senior dev spins this utterly PREPOSTEROUS yarn about ancient coders who used—I can barely type this—DOCUMENTATION and their OWN BRAINS to solve problems! Next thing you know, they'll be claiming these legendary beings didn't need Stack Overflow either! Pure fantasy! Everyone knows real programming is just asking AI to fix your semicolons! 💅

The generational divide in tech has never been more savage! Old-timer dev with his magnificent beard is schooling these youngsters about the ancient art of coding without AI assistance. “ChatGPT? When I was your age I had to write my own code” hits different in 2024 when half of us are just prompt engineers now. It's like bragging about churning your own butter or hunting woolly mammoths. The irony? That senior probably copy-pasted from StackOverflow anyway. The tech cycle continues—today's juniors will someday lecture about the primitive days of having to type prompts instead of just thinking them.
