Content INTERVIEWER: Write a program to sort the array ME: arr 11, 3,4, 21 arr.sortl) INTERVIEWER:

Back in the 60s, programmers were literally PUNCHING CODE into cards by hand! 🤯 The person in the image is holding up punch cards with the caption "COMPILERS TOOK MY JOB" - it's basically the original "robots are stealing our jobs" but for coding! Before compilers existed, humans had to manually convert code into machine-readable formats. Then BAM! Compilers showed up and were like "I got this" and an entire profession vanished faster than free pizza at a hackathon! Those punch card operators never saw it coming!

Ah yes, the classic "it's 2025 but we're coding like it's 1989" scenario. Some professor is still forcing students to declare all variables at the top of the function like we're writing ANSI C89 standard code. Meanwhile, the variable name when_will_they_get_advanced = 0 is the silent scream of every CS student trapped in academic time capsules. The real joke is that while industry moved on decades ago, academia still thinks the C compiler from the Gulf War era is "cutting edge." Nothing prepares you for the real world like learning techniques that were outdated when dinosaurs roamed Silicon Valley.
