The Irony Of Complaining About Standards While Breaking Them

Remember when AWK was actually used for text processing instead of just being that weird command in Stack Overflow answers? The existential crisis is real. This poor utility is having a mid-career breakdown after realizing its entire existence has been reduced to "print columns" by junior devs who have no idea about its pattern scanning and processing language capabilities. Like finding out your PhD is only being used to open beer bottles. The robot's face at the end is every senior engineer watching new grads discover grep for the first time.

Nothing triggers impostor syndrome quite like scrolling through GitHub and finding Luigi here with dual CS degrees from an Ivy League school, 3500 followers, and probably a contribution graph that looks like a Manhattan skyline. Meanwhile, you're still struggling to center a div and your most impressive achievement is fixing a bug by restarting your computer. The cherry on top? He's probably 22 and already has FAANG offers while you're surviving on Stack Overflow copypasta and praying nobody reviews your code too carefully. But hey, at least you know how to exit Vim... sometimes.

The meme shows a fake news headline about Larry Tesler (the actual inventor of cut, copy, paste) dying, with a reaction image of a man crying below captioned "Every Programmer Ever." Without Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V, we'd all be typing "console.log" 500 times a day instead of just once and duplicating it. The true unsung hero of our profession isn't the person who invented loops—it's the guy who made it possible to steal code from Stack Overflow without retyping it. A moment of silence for our productivity savior.
