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?

Ah yes, the classic "I watched a tutorial, therefore I am a programmer" phase. We've all been there. That magical moment when you follow along with some dude coding a simple "Hello World" and suddenly you're convinced you can build the next Facebook. The irony of the title "Integer Overflow Amirite" is perfect - they probably don't even know what an integer overflow is yet, but they're already speaking the lingo and ready to join the tribe. Give it a week before they discover their first StackOverflow error and the real programming journey begins. The confidence of a beginner is truly the most powerful force in computing.
