The Sacred Art Of Code Acquisition

Ah yes, the classic "I need to convert an integer to binary so let me just check the Arduino forums" rabbit hole. Sure, bitRead() exists, but why use a simple built-in function when you can waste 3 hours writing your own implementation, debugging it until 2AM, and then finally discovering the function that was there all along? The real meta here is that we all pretend Stack Overflow isn't our first stop. "I'll figure it out myself" is just code for "I'll try for 5 minutes before frantically googling and copy-pasting someone else's solution while muttering 'I knew that' under my breath."

Why reinvent the wheel with AI when you can participate in the grand tradition of code inheritance? The sacred lineage of copy-pasting that traces back to the original Stack Overflow prophets. Sure, AI might generate something "original," but there's an undeniable elegance to using code that's been battle-tested through generations of theft. It's not plagiarism—it's vintage sourcing with historical significance. The circle of code life continues, and somewhere, an Indian tech specialist is silently nodding in approval while their solution powers half the internet.

No need to mock because chances are, they really don't know what to do and they trust that you can help them. 3:43 PM 16 Aug 20 Twitter for Android ill View Tweet activity 3,827 Retweets and comments 12.4K Likes ProgrammerHumor.to
