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.

The cryptographic pun we didn't know we needed! This brilliant wordplay combines end-to-end encryption (the security protocol that keeps your messages private) with Ents (the talking tree creatures from fantasy). Security engineers spend countless hours ensuring nobody can intercept your precious cat photos, while fantasy Ents are apparently doing the same with their arboreal gossip. Somewhere, a cryptography professor is both groaning and secretly adding this to their lecture slides. Next up: hash functions explained using actual breakfast potatoes.
