Libraries Memes

Standing on the shoulders of giants... while pretending you're levitating. The entire software industry is just us importing someone else's npm package, adding three lines of code, and then strutting around like we've invented electricity. Meanwhile, the real heroes who solved P=NP are buried in some GitHub repo with 2 stars. The best part? We all know it, yet tomorrow we'll npm install another solution and feel like technological wizards for implementing a toggle button.

Ah, the duality of random number generation! The top panel shows the proper way—importing libraries like random , time , or os to generate proper pseudo-random numbers with good entropy. The bottom panel reveals the chaotic evil approach—hardcoding your "random" generator without external input, which is basically just saying return 4 because it was randomly chosen by fair dice roll. Guaranteed to be random! The twisted face in the second panel perfectly captures the deranged energy of a developer who thinks Math.floor(Math.random() * 6) + 1 is too much work and opts for const getRandomNumber = () => 4; instead. Cryptographers are screaming somewhere.

The eternal developer tragedy: spending hours hunting for the perfect library with that one specific feature you need, only to discover it's the only feature missing. It's like ordering a pizza specifically for the pineapple and getting everything BUT the pineapple. The universe has a special way of ensuring your dependency choices are maximally frustrating. Next time just write those 300 lines of code yourself and save the emotional damage!
