The Guardian Angels Of Stack Overflow

That awkward silence when someone assumes your years of experience translate to actual competence. Ten years of programming and still googling how to center a div or exit Vim. Some of us have just been making the same mistakes with increasing confidence for a decade. It's not the years in the code, it's the code in the years.

The eternal workplace hierarchy in one image! A junior programmer desperately reaches for help with what's probably a simple syntax error, while the senior dev performs the sacred ritual of deflection. The irony? That senior was once frantically Googling the same stuff. The real senior dev superpower isn't knowing everything—it's knowing exactly what to Google and pretending you knew it all along. Meanwhile, the junior will eventually learn that "RTFM" and "just Google it" are the unofficial mantras of our profession. Circle of life, but with more Stack Overflow.

The classic developer dismissal cycle in its natural habitat. First dev smugly declares "sounds like a skill issue tbh" - the universal code for "your problem is you, not the code." Two weeks later, karma strikes when they hit the exact same wall and suddenly it's "wait no it doesn't work for me either." Nothing humbles a programmer faster than having to eat their own snarky comments when facing the same bug they previously mocked. The circle of dev life is complete.
