The absolute TRUTH of this image is sending me into orbit! 🚀 The entire software industry—this massive, trillion-dollar behemoth—is literally being dragged forward by a tiny little train of Stack Overflow answers cobbled together by sleep-deprived heroes who decided to share their solutions with the world.

We're all just waiting for the next JavaScript library with 47 weekly downloads to bring down half the Fortune 500. The chonky cat perfectly captures our collective resignation. Not surprised, not even stressed anymore—just existing in a perpetual state of "here we go again." DevOps teams everywhere have this exact expression permanently etched on their faces.
