The Digital Archaeologist's Despair

The mythical "just read the documentation" advice strikes again! Sure, because all documentation is as clear as these LEGO instructions showing you exactly where to connect pieces with big red arrows. Meanwhile, the actual docs we deal with are more like "The function does what it does. See function." Eight years as a tech lead and I've yet to encounter documentation that doesn't require three Stack Overflow tabs and a direct message to the one dev who wrote it (who conveniently left the company three years ago). The real senior dev move? Skimming the docs, then reverse-engineering how it actually works.

Reading documentation in a language you don't understand is basically the programmer's version of this French phrase book story. You confidently copy that Stack Overflow snippet, run it, and suddenly your terminal is screaming at you in 17 different error messages—none of which make any sense. The "vibe coders" line is pure gold. That's what we call devs who just throw random code at the problem until something works without understanding why. They're the ones who paste jQuery solutions into React apps and wonder why everything's on fire. Been in this industry 15 years and I'm still occasionally a vibe coder. We all are when deadline pressure hits and the client's breathing down our neck. Good luck indeed.

Nothing says "I'm a real developer" quite like accidentally sharing your screen with 14 Stack Overflow tabs open. The recruiter's response is pure gold - because the only thing more authentic than frantically closing browser tabs during an interview is admitting we're all just cobbling together solutions from the internet. The shared panic-laugh is the secret handshake of tech interviews. Forget polished resumes - just show your chaotic browser history and you're hired.
