Back In My Day We Actually Engineered

Grandma dev isn't wrong. Modern "software engineering" is often just gluing together 47 npm packages and hoping nothing breaks after the next update. Remember when we actually designed systems instead of just importing half of GitHub? Those were the days when UML diagrams weren't just decorations for PowerPoint presentations and "technical debt" meant more than "I'll fix it later" (narrator: they never did). The old guard remembers when optimization meant squeezing performance out of every byte, not just throwing more AWS instances at the problem.

The Four Stages Of CS Student Evolution

The four horsemen of CS education evolution: Year 1: You're printing "Hello World" with the enthusiasm of someone who just discovered fire. "Mom! Look! The computer said words I told it to say!" Year 2: Reality hits with data structures, DBMS, and OS concepts. Your face says "I've made a terrible mistake" but your tuition says "keep going." Year 3: The existential crisis kicks in. "I wanna go home" isn't just a statement—it's your new mantra, whispered between debugging sessions at 3 AM. Year 4: Complete surrender. Your only escape plan is now a YouTube channel where you'll explain to others why they should suffer too. "Don't forget to smash that like button while I smash what's left of my sanity!"

The Great Programming Language Chisel Debate

OMG, this is the EXACT SAME DRAMA that unfolds in EVERY programming language debate! 💀 Everyone's sitting there witnessing pure artistry, absolutely GUSHING over the masterpiece before them, and then that ONE PERSON has to ruin the moment with: "Yeah but what IDE did you use? What keyboard? What font? What theme? What extensions? What time of day did you code this? How many cups of coffee? TELL ME YOUR SECRETS!!!" As if buying the same chisel as Michelangelo would magically transform you into a Renaissance genius! Honey, no amount of fancy syntax highlighting is going to fix your spaghetti code disaster! 💅
