Copy-Paste Driven Development

Education: "Plagiarism is unacceptable!"

Programmers: "I found this on Stack Overflow" = "I have achieved innovation."

The sacred ritual of copying code and pretending you didn't is basically the unofficial programmer handshake. Your professor would fail you for copying an essay, but your tech lead will silently judge you for not stealing that sorting algorithm. Why reinvent the wheel when someone else's wheel has 457 upvotes and works in production?

The Cycle Of Programmer Humor And Gatekeeping

The eternal cycle of programming humor in four panels: 1. Innocent brain thinks of a joke while browsing r/ProgrammerHumor 2. Posts contrived scenario about computers being annoying (because let's face it, that's 90% of our job) 3. Gets absolutely destroyed by gatekeeping veterans with comments like "HOW BAD ARE YOU, IS THIS YOUR FIRST DAY PROGRAMMING?!" 4. Vows to never post again And thus another potential contributor to open source dies before they even make their first PR. Tale as old as Stack Overflow.

The Two Faces Of Developer Assistance

The eternal struggle of modern development: StackOverflow tells you that you're absolutely wrong (with bonus downvotes and snarky comments), while ChatGPT cheerfully validates your terrible code that will probably explode in production. It's like choosing between the brutally honest friend who makes you cry and the yes-man who encourages you to wear that hideous outfit to an interview. The truth is somewhere in between, but who has time for nuance when you're trying to fix that bug before the deadline?
