Just Read The Documentation!

documentation-memes, senior-developer-memes, junior-developer-memes, coding-struggles-memes, tech-mentorship-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

When a senior dev tells you to "just read the documentation," what they really mean is "figure out how to connect these two completely unrelated pieces with zero context and make it work somehow." The documentation is always like those LEGO instructions that skip 17 critical steps and suddenly expect you to have built a quantum computer. And yet they'll look at you like you're the problem when you can't magically deduce what goes in between.

The Suspicious Success Paradox

The evolution of developer paranoia in two panels: Junior dev: *code compiles* "WOOHOO! FIRST TRY MAGIC! I'M A CODING GENIUS!" Senior dev: *code compiles* "...suspicious. Very suspicious. What dark sorcery is this? Something's definitely broken somewhere and I just can't see it yet." The true mark of experience isn't celebrating success—it's questioning why the compiler didn't put up more of a fight. Nothing builds healthy paranoia quite like years of mysterious runtime errors that followed suspiciously smooth compilations.

The Corporate Efficiency Paradox

Remember pulling all-nighters to finish that school project? Writing thousands of lines of code, optimizing algorithms, and documenting everything meticulously? Fast forward to professional life where your manager congratulates you for that brilliant 10-line fix that took 15 minutes but saved the company millions. The best part? You get to clock out at 5 and still feel accomplished. The real skill isn't writing more code—it's writing less. Welcome to the corporate efficiency paradox, where less effort somehow equals more value. That CS degree is finally paying off!
