We Have Names For The Styles Now

This meme is a two-for-one special of programmer suffering. On the left, we have programmers enjoying memes about their own misery—finding comfort in shared trauma like true masochists. On the right, the punchline is so painfully clever it hurts: "My dog ate my homework" gets a CS upgrade with "it took him a couple bytes." The professor's silent response is practically audible. Nothing says "I'm definitely not submitting this assignment on time" like a programming pun that simultaneously admits defeat and shows off your technical vocabulary. The desperate creativity of CS students knows no bounds.

The eternal struggle of a desperate coder, captured in one image! On the left, we have LLMs promising to "help with programming questions" but won't actually insult you (how considerate). On the right, StackOverflow boasting it's "accurate" and "used by people who know what they're doing" while flexing knowledge of "even the most obscure languages." It's the perfect illustration of our coding dilemma: get polite, possibly hallucinated answers from an AI that treats you like a fragile child, or brave StackOverflow where your "simple question" will be closed as duplicate, marked as trivial, and someone will suggest you shouldn't be programming at all. Choose your poison!

When ChatGPT exposes your darkest developer sin without even trying! The AI didn't need 8 seconds to figure out what every senior developer fears most - that despite all our unit testing evangelism and staging environment sermons, we're secretly pushing changes straight to production like digital adrenaline junkies. It's basically the programming equivalent of a therapist saying "I know what you did" after you just sat down.

The eternal GitHub rabbit hole strikes again! One minute you're fixing a bug, the next you're deep in some random issue thread from 2014 where two developers are arguing about tab spacing. Suddenly it's 4 hours later, you've learned three obscure programming languages, formed strong opinions about package managers you've never used, and that ticket you were supposed to complete? Still untouched. The dopamine hit from those spicy GitHub comment sections is just too powerful to resist.
