Ah yes, the classic "it's 2025 but we're coding like it's 1989" scenario. Some professor is still forcing students to declare all variables at the top of the function like we're writing ANSI C89 standard code. Meanwhile, the variable name when_will_they_get_advanced = 0 is the silent scream of every CS student trapped in academic time capsules. The real joke is that while industry moved on decades ago, academia still thinks the C compiler from the Gulf War era is "cutting edge." Nothing prepares you for the real world like learning techniques that were outdated when dinosaurs roamed Silicon Valley.

Left side: Mythical unicorn developer writing perfect code while jamming to music, solving problems methodically, and creating crash-proof software. Right side: The brutal reality where we're all just angry devs screaming profanities at our screens, wondering how the exact same code that worked yesterday is now throwing 47 new errors. The "vibe coding" side is basically programming in its natural habitat—complete with existential dread, keyboard abuse, and that special moment when you fix a bug by changing absolutely nothing. Just rerunning the same code and suddenly it works. Magic!
