The Stackoverflow Necromancer

Content When you solve some trivial problem without using StackOverflow and it only took you 3 hours I'm literally the smartest programmer that's ever lived

Ah, the ancient programmer trap in its natural habitat. Just prop up a milk crate with a stick, place StackOverflow, coffee, and a dark IDE theme underneath, and wait. Works every time. After 15 years in the industry, I can confirm this is basically our version of catnip. The dark theme alone would probably work, but why take chances? The coffee ensures we'll stay long enough to get caught, and StackOverflow guarantees we'll be distracted trying to explain why the accepted answer is actually wrong.
