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.

I Have Never Written Any Full Code By Myself

The secret ingredient to "beautiful code" is often just a well-executed Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V operation from Stack Overflow! When non-technical friends marvel at your coding wizardry, there's that split-second where you consider explaining your 3AM StackOverflow treasure hunt... but instead just accept the praise with a smile. Modern development is basically digital archaeology—digging through GitHub repos and documentation until you find that perfect snippet that does exactly what you need. The real skill isn't writing code from scratch—it's knowing exactly what to steal and from where!
