Programming tutorials Memes

Every programmer knows that dark journey. You start innocently searching for "how to center a div" and three hours later you're watching a tutorial on creating realistic fur shaders in WebGL by some guy who sounds like he hasn't slept in four days. The search for animation references is just the beginning of the rabbit hole that leads you to the disturbing underbelly of programming tutorials where people implement sorting algorithms with interpretive dance and explain pointer arithmetic while dressed as anime characters. The YouTube algorithm knows your weakness—it's not cat videos, it's "uncomfortably enthusiastic dev explaining RegEx at 3am."

The brutal honesty of modern programming tutorials has reached new heights! This gem shows a "self-taught programmer" with the cheerful advice to "Kill Yourself" while sporting the classic YouTube dev setup: beanie, microphone, and obligatory dark-themed code in the background. It's the perfect encapsulation of that moment when you've watched 47 tutorials, still have no idea what you're doing, and the tutorial creator finally admits what we're all thinking: maybe learning to center a div wasn't worth the existential crisis after all.

That reluctant face when you've tried StackOverflow, GitHub issues, and official docs, but the only solution is a 10-minute tutorial by that one YouTuber with the annoying intro music and "smash that like button" every 30 seconds. You're sitting there with your finger hovering over the play button, mentally preparing for the inevitable "Hey guys, what's up, it's ya boy..." while your deadline creeps closer. The universe really tests your desperation when the only person who's solved your obscure framework bug is the same guy who spends 5 minutes promoting his crypto course before getting to the actual code.
