Past Me vs. Present Me: The Epic Showdown

Content int counter 0; while(true) loop for 5 seconds for (int i 0; i 2147483647 ; i) another loop because it's 2012 and PCs have gotten considerably faster :) for(int j 0; j 2147483647 ; j) ... System.out.println(counter ". Hello World!"); counter;

BEHOLD THE EVOLUTION OF PROGRAMMING SKILL! From the left: actual coding with binary (0/1) and circuit boards like some kind of digital caveman. Middle: the revolutionary "just copy-paste from Stack Overflow" technique (Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V) that single-handedly saved our industry. And finally, the pinnacle of modern development—mastering the Tab key to make your stolen code look pretty! We've gone from building computers to basically just formatting other people's work. PROGRESS, DARLINGS! 💅

Run me all you want until you reach my breakpoint! Fill my buffer with your data!!! Access all my private members baby, without any capsulation! Push and pop me like a callstack in a recursive function!!! 1.6k

Developers trying to share Stack Overflow solutions be like: HTTP 301 - PERMANENTLY REDIRECTED to some random X post with 47 popup ads and a paywall. Remember when Twitter links actually worked? Now our code reviews look like archaeological digs through API deprecation notices just to find that one regex snippet someone shared in 2019. The ultimate 404 of productivity.

OH. MY. GOD. The absolute DEVOLUTION of programmers is too real! 😭 On the left, we have the CHAD programmer of yesteryear - building an ENTIRE OPERATING SYSTEM FROM SCRATCH, talking directly to God, and casually mentioning CIA conspiracies while coding in 640x480 resolution like some kind of digital BARBARIAN! And what do we have now? A pathetic little doge in a coffee sweater, TRAPPED in Vim, desperately clinging to Stack Overflow and Spotify for emotional support! Can't even exit a text editor without begging for help! The audacity! The TRAGEDY! For the uninitiated: TempleOS was an operating system coded entirely by one man (Terry Davis) who claimed divine inspiration. Meanwhile, Vim is that text editor where generations of programmers have been held hostage because nobody remembers how to exit it (it's :q! by the way, YOU'RE WELCOME).
