Legacy knowledge Memes

The brutal truth of modern software development in one devastating punchline. We've become so dependent on frameworks and libraries that we've forgotten the fundamental skills. Building a browser from scratch? Might as well ask us to build a rocket to Mars using only a paperclip and some chewing gum. What makes this extra spicy is that it's coming from an older-generation programmer who actually remembers when people did build things from scratch. Meanwhile, the rest of us are over here struggling when npm is down for 5 minutes. The future date (2025) is just the cherry on top of this existential crisis sundae. The knowledge gap isn't getting better—it's getting worse.
