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.

Knowledge Is Never Enough

That awkward silence when someone assumes your years of experience translate to actual competence. Ten years of programming and still googling how to center a div or exit Vim. Some of us have just been making the same mistakes with increasing confidence for a decade. It's not the years in the code, it's the code in the years.

Senior Python Developer: The Art Of Elegant Outsourcing

The true essence of senior development: solving complex problems by finding someone else who already solved them. Two lines of code that magically do everything? That's not wizardry—that's just knowing which library to import from Stack Overflow. The best code is the code you didn't have to write. After 10 years in the trenches, I've learned that efficiency isn't about typing speed—it's about knowing exactly what to copy/paste. This is the way.
