My friend in her first programming class...

Content Normal programmers Me created a discord I created a discord bot to moderate MYbot so Cactually have server for me. someone to talk to.

Content CHOP CHOP CHOP AARGH WHAT IS ALL THIS CRAP ? BIN IT COS WHY IS THIS STRUCTURE HERE? WHERE COULD THIS BRIDGE POSSIBLY LEAD THIS SIGN DOESN'T HELP ME MUCH 18 FTHIS IS BRIDGE WHAT A HORRIBLY DESIGNED STREET, MOST INEFFICIENT. GOOD GOD! WHAT THE HELL DOES THIS CONTRAPTION DO? I hate reading other people's code.

Content Me after fixing a bug in my code: It'll still probably be wrong, but it'll be differently wrong.

Content when you have a load of ideas but no actual coding skills to realize them.

The eternal developer dilemma depicted as a fork in the road! On the left path, there's a magical castle bathed in sunshine with the promise of "HERE'S A PACKAGE THAT DOES IT FOR YOU" – the dream scenario where someone else already solved your problem. On the right path, dark storm clouds and lightning with "YOU'RE PUSHING THE LIMITS OF MODERN MATHEMATICS" – what happens when you stubbornly decide to implement that "simple feature" yourself. Every developer knows that moment of existential crisis: do I spend 5 minutes installing a dependency that solves my problem, or 5 days reinventing the wheel while accidentally stumbling into computer science research territory? The sign at the bottom pointing to "ADDING A NEW FEATURE" is the trigger for this whole mental breakdown. The irony? We almost always start down the right path anyway. Because surely our implementation will be better, cleaner, and more efficient than that 10,000-star GitHub repo maintained by 47 senior engineers for the past decade...

The eternal duality of developer existence! The top panel shows a legendary sword labeled simply "Vi" while the bottom reveals its modern counterpart "Visual Studio Code." It's basically the coding equivalent of choosing between a medieval longsword and a lightsaber. For the uninitiated, Vi is the ancient text editor forged in the fires of 1976, requiring arcane keyboard incantations and mystical commands that separate coding wizards from mere mortals. Meanwhile, VS Code is the shiny, extension-laden Swiss Army knife that practically writes code for you while making coffee. The true comedy? Senior developers clutching both with equal reverence, ready to defend their editor choice to the death. The holy war continues, one keystroke at a time!
