Just Read The Docs Man

The perfect response when your coworker asks if you've consulted the documentation before bothering them with your problem. Ten years in this industry and I've developed a sixth sense for detecting who actually reads docs versus who just mashes Stack Overflow solutions together until something works. Documentation is like flossing - everybody claims they do it regularly, but the reality is much grimmer. Most devs would rather reverse-engineer an entire codebase than spend 5 minutes reading what the author actually intended.

I Know A Guy Who Knows A Guy

Linked lists are basically the networking pros of data structures. Each node is just chilling there like "Yeah, I don't know where the data ends, but I know the next guy who does." And that next node is like "Nah, but I know another guy" and so on until you hit that NULL pointer that's basically saying "end of the line, buddy." It's the perfect representation of how linked lists work - no random access, just a chain of references where each element only has information about its immediate successor. Traversing a linked list is literally just following a trail of breadcrumbs from one shady connection to the next!

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.

The Great Reddit Resource Blame Game

Remember when Reddit engineers were optimization wizards? Now they're blaming your tiny custom emojis for server meltdowns. Classic corporate evolution - from "we built a platform that can handle millions of simultaneous users" to "your 20KB GIF is why everything's on fire." Next they'll claim upvotes are causing global warming. The real resource hog? Probably their tracking scripts collecting data on which cat memes make you smile.
