Original code Memes

OH MY GOD, the EXISTENTIAL CRISIS that just slapped me across the face! 😱 If we're all just copying and pasting from Stack Overflow like the shameless code thieves we are, then WHO IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT IS BINARY is creating the original code?! It's like discovering that Santa isn't real but for programmers! Some poor, tortured soul must be sitting in a dark room actually WRITING ORIGINAL CODE while the rest of us just parasitically leech off their genius. The programming universe is built on a house of cards and I'm having a complete meltdown over here!
