I Just Keep Googling Stuff And It Keeps Working

The secret sauce of modern development revealed! When asked about becoming a coder, the honest answer isn't four years of computer science or mastering algorithms—it's just endlessly Googling error messages until something magically works. The uncomfortable truth is that 90% of our "expertise" is knowing exactly what to search for and which Stack Overflow answer to copy-paste. ChatGPT is just Google with extra steps and fewer captchas asking us to identify traffic lights.

I Don't See Any Differences Either

The compiler said "0 errors" so I shipped it! Who cares about those 5678 warnings? They're just the compiler being overly dramatic. Warnings are basically just passive-aggressive suggestions anyway. It's like when your IDE underlines half your code in yellow squiggles but everything still runs fine. Sure, there might be 5000+ instances of "variable may be null" or "unused import" or "deprecated method," but did we crash? NO! Ship it to production, baby! What could possibly go wrong?

Same But Different (But More Expensive)

Why fix what's broken when you can just throw it away and build it again from scratch in Rust? Developers turning their noses up at the sensible option of refactoring existing code because the siren call of rewriting everything in a shiny new language is just too tempting. Sure, it'll take 6 months longer, introduce 47 new bugs, and the business stakeholders will be pulling their hair out, but hey—at least you'll get to tell everyone at meetups that you're "memory safe" now.
