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.

So, here's the deal. You spent like, a day, trying to figure this shit out. I'm not sure if you remember, but last night while your wife and child slept soundly, you were staring at the ceiling, silently reviewing code in your head, wondering if you could come up with some kind of magical insight just by thinking about things in a relaxed state. It didn't work. You've tried a lot of shit. You've copy and pasted. You've written custom code. You've watched goddamn YouTube videos about stuff you don't even understand. And then ... then you found something that actually works. Do you understand it? No. Not really. Do vou care? The you from like two days ago would have cared.

The eternal cycle of developer hubris! First panel: "I'm gonna build this from scratch because libraries are for WEAKLINGS." Second panel: "Let me just quickly Google how to actually do this..." Third panel: *silent realization that this is way harder than expected* Fourth panel: *frantically copy-pasting Stack Overflow answers while questioning life choices* Nothing humbles you faster than attempting to reinvent the wheel only to discover the wheel requires calculus, physics, and three programming languages you don't know. And yet we keep doing it. Why? Because we're developers and pain is our love language.
