Is This Common Knowledge

First frame: Guy confidently throws out some pretentious nonsense about programming vs scripting languages. Second frame: Girl asks a basic programming question that any self-respecting developer should know. Third frame: Guy's entire facade crumbles as he realizes he's been exposed as someone who talks big but can't answer fundamental questions. The brutal truth is we've all been that guy at some point. Talking philosophical BS about programming paradigms but then freezing when asked if a language has array.includes() . The eternal impostor syndrome is justified sometimes.

The graph perfectly illustrates the psychological journey of a Lisp programmer who's almost reached enlightenment but remains eternally trapped just below it. Lisp, with its notorious parentheses-heavy syntax ((((like this)))) and powerful functional programming capabilities, creates this weird phenomenon where developers start thinking they're unlocking the secrets of computer science itself. The more time you spend with Lisp, the closer you feel to some grand epiphany—like you're about to crack the cosmic code of programming—but that final breakthrough remains just out of reach. Meanwhile, you're spouting nonsense about understanding the universe while writing code that looks like a keyboard sneezed parentheses everywhere. It's the programming equivalent of climbing Everest, getting 10 feet from the summit, and deciding to set up a philosophy club instead of finishing the climb.
