The Real Answer Might Surprise Them

Remember the dark ages of programming? Two devs claim they've time-traveled, but when asked "when?" they decide to ask someone nearby for help. The punchline hits when they ask how to center a div (the eternal CSS nightmare) and get told to "look it up in the CSS manual."

Some say senior devs still have nightmares about physical reference books.

Ah, the GitHub language breakdown for side projects – where BASIC somehow makes up 11.1% of your codebase despite not touching it since 1997. Let's not forget the 9% Beef (a real language, but probably just your angry comments), 6.5% Rust because you watched that one YouTube tutorial, whatever "मादरचोद" is (probably what you shouted at 3 AM when nothing compiled), C89 from that algorithm you copy-pasted, and Albanian because... why not? The remaining 56.3% is just unclassified Stack Overflow snippets you're hoping nobody notices. Side projects: where programming languages go to either die or reproduce uncontrollably.
