The Programmer's Efficiency Paradox

Content OUR SUN NEUTRON STARS BLACK HOLES HEAVIEST OBJECTS IN THE UNIVERSE

You know you're getting old when your laptop outlives most of your relationships. That 10-year-old ThinkPad running Linux is basically a family heirloom at this point—still boots faster than your coworker's brand new MacBook, still has all the ports you actually need, and the keyboard feels like typing on clouds made of mechanical switches. The real tragedy here is that elderly laptop probably still has a better CPU than half the IoT devices in your house, doesn't force you to use a dongle for literally everything, and runs your code compilation without sounding like it's preparing for takeoff. Meanwhile, modern laptops are soldered shut, unrepairable, and cost more than a used car. Respect your elders, especially when they're still running that perfectly stable Debian install from 2015.

The MIT license literally says "do whatever you want with this code, I don't care." It's the most permissive open-source license out there—you can use it, modify it, sell it, tattoo it on your forehead, whatever. So when a dev slaps MIT on their repo and then has a meltdown on Twitter because someone actually *used* their code, it's like putting up a "FREE PIZZA" sign and then crying when people eat the pizza. The cat's bewildered stance perfectly captures the rest of us watching this drama unfold, wondering if they've ever actually read the license they chose. Pro tip: if you don't want people using your code, maybe don't pick the license that's basically the digital equivalent of "take it, it's yours."
