The Stackoverflow Medical Degree

Content Dev Jokes devpuns Stackoverflow ChatGPT ChatGPT Not stackoverflow

Nothing quite like that brief moment of smooth sailing when you copy-paste some StackOverflow magic into your dirt road of a codebase. Sure, it works... right up until you hit that pothole where your requirements differ slightly from the original question. Then it's back to the bumpy gravel path of debugging your own janky solutions. The real tragedy? Six months from now you'll have completely forgotten which parts you wrote and which parts came from that random post with 47 upvotes. Future you is gonna have a hell of a time figuring out why there's suddenly a perfectly paved section in your otherwise chaotic code desert.

That moment when you realize Stack Overflow will never die because we're still copying and pasting the same answers from 2011. The annual developer survey is just a formality at this point—like checking if anyone's actually writing original code anymore. Spoiler alert: we're not. We're just finding increasingly creative ways to ask "how to center a div" without admitting we've asked it before.
