The duality of a programmer's existence in one perfect meme. Taking notes? That's for people who think they'll actually read them again. Meanwhile, the true coding warriors just slam their keyboards, write incomprehensible code at 2AM, and trust their future self to figure it out with nothing but cryptic variable names and zero comments.

Examples of application layer protocols include HTTP, SMTP, The transport layer deals with logical end-to-end transport of the data. The transport layer protocols of interest are TCP and UDP. . The network laver routes the data through the network. IP is the network layer protocol that matters to us. The link layer handles the transferring of data over each individual link of the network. There are many link layer protocols hut turn ether- nat ond ADD The physical layer sends the bits over the physical media. If you want to kn about the physical layer, study electrical engineering. data nasses down the protocol stack e and then Conceptually, a par back up the protocol stack at the destination. Routers in the core of the network must process data up to the network layer in order to know where to route a packet. This is illustrated in Figure 14.2. Suppose that X is a packet of application data at the source. As X goes down protocol each protocol adds a header, which includes the information required by that particu- atian lover Then the anolication layer

The four horsemen of programming reality: what people think (hardware surgery), what parents think (rocket science), what you think (complex algorithms), and what you actually do (Googling "How to use dates in Javascript" for the 47th time this week). Nothing says "senior developer with 10 years experience" quite like having absolutely no idea how to handle dates without checking Stack Overflow first. It's not impostor syndrome if we're all impostors.
