Intern life Memes

Somewhere in a cramped office in early 2000s Valve, a Korean intern was single-handedly holding up the entire foundation of modern PC gaming like Atlas carrying the world. While everyone else was probably arguing about Half-Life 3 (still waiting, btw), this absolute legend was writing the code that would eventually evolve into Steam—the platform that now holds your wallet hostage during every summer sale. The weight of billions of future gamers, countless indie developers, and the entire digital distribution model resting on those shoulders. No pressure though. Just casually architecting the infrastructure that would make physical game copies obsolete and turn Gabe Newell into a demigod. Fun fact: Steam was initially created because Valve needed a way to push updates to Counter-Strike. Now it's a multi-billion dollar empire. Talk about scope creep done right.
