When The First Year CS Student Asks What Is A Zip File

That moment when you realize you've been in this industry so long that basic concepts have become ancient artifacts. The look of existential dread when a freshman asks what a zip file is... like watching someone question why we still use wheels on cars. Nothing makes you feel more like a digital dinosaur than explaining compression algorithms to kids who grew up with unlimited cloud storage. And here I am, remembering when we passed code around on actual floppy disks.

Evolution Of Error Messages

Remember when error messages actually told you what went wrong? Now we get this cutesy corporate BS instead of useful information. Left side: straight-up telling you the system is thoroughly screwed with an actual error code. Right side: some UX designer's fever dream of "humanizing the experience" while telling you absolutely nothing helpful. Next they'll add emojis to kernel panics and call it "user-friendly." The worst part? Some executive probably got a bonus for this brilliant rebranding of failure.
