Just smile and nod while frantically searching Stack Overflow at 2 AM.

The brutal truth about our coding abilities has been scientifically quantified! Apparently "vibe coders" who just throw code at the wall without thinking hit a respectable 52.8% accuracy. But add some actual thinking to the process and—boom—74.9%! Meanwhile, Stack Overflow engineers (aka professional copy-pasters) manage 69.1% accuracy, which is suspiciously close to a meme number. And those "senior engineers with 10+ years experience"? A humbling 30.8%—because they're too busy overthinking edge cases and muttering about how "we did it better in Perl." The real genius is realizing we're all just making it up as we go. The more you know, the more you realize you don't know!
