Htop Memes

Nothing screams "elite hacker" quite like running htop in a terminal. To your grandma, you're basically Neo from The Matrix. To your non-tech friends, you've just activated the nuclear launch codes. The reality? You're just checking if Chrome is eating all your RAM again (spoiler: it is). But try explaining that you're not breaking into the Pentagon while you're literally just looking at process IDs and CPU usage. They've already decided you're in.

DARLING, those movie hacking scenes are the GREATEST TRAGEDY of my developer existence! 💅 The dramatic typing! The neon green text! The ABSURD progress bars! Meanwhile, in reality, the "hacker" is probably just running a system update and installing some random npm packages while crying into their lukewarm coffee. For the uninitiated, htop is just a colorful system monitoring tool that LOOKS impressive but is basically just telling you your computer isn't completely dead yet. Hollywood thinks we're all cyber wizards when we're really just glorified package installers begging our terminals not to break something important!
