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.

What I Say

Ah, the classic CS major paradox! You casually mention your degree and suddenly everyone thinks you're some tech deity who can resurrect their 15-year-old laptop with a single touch. Meanwhile, the truth is you're just another mortal who spends hours debugging a missing semicolon and occasionally whispers sweet nothings to your compiler hoping it'll cooperate. The only thing you're "jacked into" is your fifth cup of coffee while Stack Overflow judges your existence. This is why we can't have nice conversations at family gatherings.

Why Does The Universe Hate My Copy-Paste Skills?

THE BETRAYAL! THE AUDACITY! You sit there, copying code from a tutorial with the precision of a heart surgeon, only to have your computer LAUGH IN YOUR FACE when it doesn't work. There you are, a teddy bear of confusion, arms raised to the coding gods, silently screaming "I LITERALLY DID EXACTLY WHAT THEY SAID!" Meanwhile, hidden somewhere in the abyss of your code is a microscopic semicolon playing hide and seek, or perhaps the tutorial was written by a sadistic genius who deliberately left out one crucial line just to watch the world burn. The emotional damage is immeasurable.
