The Holy Editor War: Google Takes Sides

Behold the great decline of our noble profession. We went from muscle-bound legends who wrote code without AI crutches and built entire games in Assembly (because apparently pain is character-building) to modern keyboard jockeys who can't center a div without consulting Google for the 47th time today. The golden age programmer fixed memory leaks by hand, while we're over here begging ChatGPT to fix our syntax errors like it's our personal code therapist. And let's not forget the programmer trapped in Vim since 2018 because :q! is apparently harder to remember than differential calculus. The final insult? We fix one bug and create three more. It's not a development cycle, it's a pyramid scheme.

The GREAT EDITOR WAR rages on with Vim and Emacs users acting like they're in some kind of text editor street gang, flashing their keyboard shortcuts like gang signs! Meanwhile, the DOS_USER at the bottom is just standing there, absolutely BAFFLED that people would wage holy war over text editors when they're still typing commands like "edit.com" in a command prompt from the STONE AGE! 💀 It's like watching two people argue about the best way to climb Mount Everest while you're still figuring out how stairs work. THE DRAMA! THE TRAGEDY! The sheer AUDACITY of still using DOS in 2023!

Oh sweet summer child! That "white dot" is the file being modified indicator—basically screaming "HEY, YOU HAVEN'T SAVED YOUR CHANGES YET!" But the real horror show? This person is casually displaying their plaintext password file for all of Reddit to see. Nothing says "hack me please" like showing off your passwords.csv with actual credentials. Somewhere, a security engineer is having heart palpitations while david13, john87, and friends are about to learn a valuable lesson about information sharing.

The Vim initiation ritual – desperately smashing Esc, random key combos, and eventually grabbing your mouse in frustration because you have no idea how to exit . The true programmer's hazing ceremony. Eight years as a developer and I still sometimes open Vim by accident and feel that same panic. The only difference now is I know to yell ":q!" while crying slightly less.

Sweet mother of backslashes! The absolute AUDACITY of this developer thinking Vim regex and Perl regex are interchangeable! Honey, that's like showing up to a knife fight with a spoon! 💀 The final panel is the regex equivalent of a horror movie jumpscare - that unholy abomination of backslashes would make any text file burst into flames! And a 700MB text file?! Who hurt you?!

The eternal duality of developer existence! The top panel shows a legendary sword labeled simply "Vi" while the bottom reveals its modern counterpart "Visual Studio Code." It's basically the coding equivalent of choosing between a medieval longsword and a lightsaber. For the uninitiated, Vi is the ancient text editor forged in the fires of 1976, requiring arcane keyboard incantations and mystical commands that separate coding wizards from mere mortals. Meanwhile, VS Code is the shiny, extension-laden Swiss Army knife that practically writes code for you while making coffee. The true comedy? Senior developers clutching both with equal reverence, ready to defend their editor choice to the death. The holy war continues, one keystroke at a time!
