You Will Obey

The eternal developer struggle: spending four hours trying to force a flip-flop through a sock when you could've just spent five minutes reading the manual. The documentation is right there, beckoning with its sweet knowledge, but no—we'd rather perform sock contortionism while muttering "this should work" for the 47th time.

The career progression of every developer in one image. Junior asks a simple question, Senior tosses back "just google it" like they're throwing a bone to a dog.

The circle of programming life continues unbroken.

Let's be honest, we've all been there. You need a regex pattern, so you open your editor with the confidence of someone who definitely knows what they're doing. Five minutes later, you're staring at a keyboard smash of special characters that somehow works. The beauty of regex is that the most efficient way to create one is apparently to let your cat walk across the keyboard. Random slashes, brackets, and character classes? Congrats, you've matched exactly what you needed... and also 47 edge cases you didn't consider. Ten years of programming experience and I still copy-paste from Stack Overflow. The cat method might actually be more reliable.
