Living On The Edge: The StackOverflow Lifestyle

Nothing says "totally not stressed" like aging 40 years in 29. That beard isn't white from wisdom—it's from debugging legacy code at 3 AM while production is on fire. The sunglasses aren't a fashion statement; they're hiding the thousand-yard stare from staring at Stack Overflow for 72 consecutive hours. But sure, Nerijus, tell us again how IT isn't stressful while your eye twitches uncontrollably behind those lenses.

The eternal programmer delusion, laid bare in four panels of crushing reality. Society thinks we're hardware wizards, surgically repairing computers with screwdrivers like some kind of digital mechanic. Our parents believe we're rocket scientists in lab coats, probably inventing the next Facebook-killer between family dinners. Meanwhile, our self-image is that of a beautiful mind—equations floating around our heads as we solve impossibly complex algorithms. The devastating truth? We're just frantically Googling "How to use dates in JavaScript" for the fifth time this week because nobody—NOBODY—can remember how that cursed Date object works. The duality of programmer existence: cosmic genius in our minds, desperate Googler in reality.

While everyone's freaking out about AI taking over the world, the real crisis is watching humans get progressively dumber with each Stack Overflow copy-paste. We're not building Skynet; we're speedrunning our way back to the Stone Age armed with smartphones. The true evolutionary threat isn't robots becoming sentient—it's developers who can't function without ChatGPT writing their for-loops.
