The Real Heroes Of Programming

Look at us flexing with our fancy Python, JavaScript, and LLM integrations while the entire banking system runs on COBOL written by someone who retired in 1997. The real heroes aren't the bodybuilders showing off their shiny new frameworks—it's the lone programmer carrying decades of legacy code on their shoulders. Nothing says job security quite like being the only person who remembers how to maintain systems that process trillions of dollars daily but can't handle Y2K without duct tape and prayers.
