Biblical Solomon may have claimed "nothing new under the sun," but he clearly never witnessed the existential crisis of showing someone a UUID for the first time. That string of random characters might as well be ancient hieroglyphics to non-technical folks. Meanwhile, developers know it's just a universally unique identifier doing its job—ensuring your database doesn't implode when two users create accounts at the exact same millisecond. The shocked face perfectly captures that moment when you realize the gulf between "it's just a UUID" and "WHAT IS THIS CRYPTIC SORCERY?!" after casually mentioning it in a meeting with marketing.
