Before They Were Books

Remember the dark ages of programming? Two devs claim they've time-traveled, but when asked "when?" they decide to ask someone nearby for help. The punchline hits when they ask how to center a div (the eternal CSS nightmare) and get told to "look it up in the CSS manual." The final panel reveals this happened "before ChatGPT and StackOverflow" - back when we had to read actual documentation instead of copy-pasting solutions. Truly barbaric times. Some say senior devs still have nightmares about physical reference books.

Nothing Works And We Don't Know Why

The eternal paradox of programming in its purest form. You spend four years learning algorithms, data structures, and computational theory. Then your production code works by pure accident after you copy-pasted from Stack Overflow at 3 AM. The real magic happens when both your test cases and production mysteriously pass despite having no logical explanation for why. That's when you quietly back away from your keyboard and accept that some cosmic force decided to take pity on your sleep-deprived soul.

The Guardian Angels Of Stack Overflow

The divine intervention of Stack Overflow strikes again. You spend hours crafting the perfect search query for your data analytics problem, only to be saved by some random hero who asked the exact same question three years ago and got a perfect answer. That person isn't just a programmer—they're your guardian angel with admin privileges to the universe. The real data analysis is figuring out how they predicted your specific obscure error before you even started your career.
