The secret sauce of modern development revealed! When asked about becoming a coder, the honest answer isn't four years of computer science or mastering algorithms—it's just endlessly Googling error messages until something magically works. The uncomfortable truth is that 90% of our "expertise" is knowing exactly what to search for and which Stack Overflow answer to copy-paste. ChatGPT is just Google with extra steps and fewer captchas asking us to identify traffic lights.

Opening that GitHub repo after half a year feels like deep-sea archaeology. The code is some ancient artifact, buried under 3775.6 meters of mental context you've completely forgotten. You stare at your own comments thinking "What kind of sleep-deprived maniac wrote this?" before realizing it was you, at 2AM, fueled by energy drinks and misplaced confidence. The worst part? That brilliant architecture you were so proud of now looks like someone let a neural network write code after training it exclusively on Stack Overflow answers from 2011.

The classic optimist vs pessimist debate gets a programmer twist! While normal people argue if the glass is half full or half empty, Stack Overflow users immediately mark your hydration inquiry as "closed for being a stupid question." The perfect representation of trying to ask anything remotely basic on SO and getting your question downvoted into oblivion because you didn't format your water molecules properly or forgot to mention which version of H₂O you're running.
