Talent vs practice Memes

The eternal myth of the "naturally gifted" programmer gets absolutely demolished here. While some folks are busy romanticizing coding skills as divine intervention or genetic lottery, the disheveled coder with bags under their eyes knows the brutal truth—they've just been grinding away for hours. No magic, no supernatural talent, just the unglamorous reality of putting in the work. This is basically the programming equivalent of "how did you get so good at guitar?" while conveniently ignoring the callused fingers and thousands of hours of practice. The wide-eyed admirer wants a shortcut that doesn't exist, but our hero's tired face tells the whole story without saying it: "I haven't slept properly in three days because I was debugging this nightmare."
