Behold, the ULTIMATE PARADOX of programming editor choices! 🤯 Start learning Emacs today, and you'll master it approximately... NEVER. The cosmic joke here is that Emacs is so ridiculously complex that the learning curve resembles Mount Everest with extra spikes. By the twisted logic of this meme, you should've started learning it before you were born to have any hope of mastering it by retirement age. It's basically saying "start yesterday for results next century!" And yet we STILL torture ourselves with it because apparently programmers are masochists with a keyboard fetish. The eternal time debt of Emacs - where every shortcut you learn creates three more you didn't know existed!
