How To Catch A Programmer

Every developer's proudest moment: getting complimented on code you copy-pasted from Stack Overflow at 3 AM. The secret to writing "clean and beautiful" code? Find someone else who already solved your problem six years ago and ctrl+c, ctrl+v your way to glory. It's not plagiarism, it's called "leveraging the open-source community." The real skill isn't writing the code—it's knowing which GitHub repo to raid and having the confidence to accept credit for it with a straight face.

The thousand-yard stare says it all. Behind every "self-taught developer" is just an endless cycle of desperate Google searches, Stack Overflow copy-pasting, and that moment when your code finally works but you're not entirely sure why. The traumatic flashbacks of 3 AM debugging sessions where you've gone from "I'll just fix this one bug" to questioning your entire career choice. That wide-eyed expression isn't excitement—it's the permanent mark left by staring into the void of documentation that somehow explains everything except the exact problem you're having.

OMG, the SHEER DRAMA of developer life! 😱 The first search looks like a crime, but add "process stackoverflow" and suddenly it's just another Tuesday in programming! In Unix/Linux systems, "killing a child process" is literally just terminating a subprocess spawned by a parent process. And stackoverflow? That's when your call stack exceeds its limit and crashes! The FBI agent monitoring your searches goes from ABSOLUTE PANIC to "oh, just another developer having a mental breakdown." The struggle is REAL, people! Next time your program spawns too many processes, remember some poor FBI agent is having heart palpitations!
