How About No
Terry A. Davis, the legendary creator of TempleOS, once said the difference between a professional and an amateur is whether you write your own compiler. Meanwhile, Rust devs are over here having a full existential crisis at the mere suggestion. The Rust compiler is already complex enough to make grown developers weep—why would anyone voluntarily sign up to build another one? Some gatekeeping is best left in the 90s where it belongs.

The Silver Sentinel Of StackOverflow
Behold, the Silver Sentinel of StackOverflow! That cold, merciless stare is what every hopeful newbie programmer sees right before their innocent question gets obliterated with "Marked as duplicate" faster than you can say "but my case is different!" These StackOverflow veterans have evolved beyond human compassion. They hover above the digital city like vengeful deities, armed with nothing but their reputation points and an encyclopedic knowledge of questions asked in 2011. Their purpose? To ensure no question shall ever be asked twice in the sacred halls of programmer knowledge. Fun fact: Some say if you whisper "I didn't check existing questions" three times at midnight, this silver figure appears at your desk and forces you to read the entire StackOverflow help center documentation.

None Of Us Are Really Programmers

HONEY, PLEASE! That's like claiming you're a master chef but not knowing how to boil water! The driver's face in that last panel is literally all of us witnessing this train wreck. And they say imposter syndrome isn't real? THIS is why we all feel like frauds sometimes!
