BEHOLD THE EVOLUTION OF PROGRAMMING SKILL! From the left: actual coding with binary (0/1) and circuit boards like some kind of digital caveman. Middle: the revolutionary "just copy-paste from Stack Overflow" technique (Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V) that single-handedly saved our industry. And finally, the pinnacle of modern development—mastering the Tab key to make your stolen code look pretty! We've gone from building computers to basically just formatting other people's work.

While normal humans were suffering through isolation like it was some cruel punishment, programmers were living their best lives – finally validated for the lifestyle we'd been practicing for years.

Yeah, that's now resting on Broadcom's quarterly earnings expectations.
