When Someone Enters S For The First Time

The ABSOLUTE SUPERIORITY COMPLEX that consumes your soul once you've conquered the ancient text editor Emacs! 💅 One minute you're struggling with keyboard shortcuts that require more fingers than an octopus has tentacles, and the next you're looking at VS Code peasants like they're coding with crayons. The transformation is COMPLETE - you've gone from normal developer to insufferable text editor elitist faster than you can say "M-x butterfly." Your friends will abandon you, but who needs friends when you have customizable keybindings?!

The ABSOLUTE TRAGEDY of a programmer's social life!!! Your brain literally stores people's names like Vim keybindings that you can't remember when needed. "Oh, I know this person's name... let me just... *frantically searches mental database*... ERROR 404: NAME NOT FOUND." Then you desperately try to escape the conversation with some made-up Vim command because your social battery just CRASHED harder than a production server during a demo. The ":wq to exit conversation" part is just *chef's kiss* - the universal cry for help when human interaction exceeds RAM capacity!

The AI equivalent of the classic Vim trap. Codex is desperately trying to escape with increasingly unhinged "END" and "STOP" commands, just like every developer's first Vim experience. The frantic "STOP++ I'm going insane" is basically the machine learning version of frantically Googling "how to exit vim" while questioning your career choices. The AI has discovered what we've known for decades - some prisons have no escape sequence.

Ah, the sacred scrolls of developer archetypes. The Barbarian who worships C and recites man pages is just your average Unix greybeard who thinks anything after Perl is heresy. The Rogue is basically every crypto bro with questionable ethics and a VPN. Wizards are those mythical 10x developers whose code is so advanced no one can maintain it after they leave. Clerics are the TDD zealots who'd rather write tests than actually ship anything. And Druids? Just sysadmins who've spent so much time in server rooms they've started identifying as network packets. I've worked with all five. The Druid still owes me $20 and insists I call him "FoxTail69" at happy hour.

Evolution of programmers: from creating their own compilers and bragging about government surveillance to being completely dependent on Stack Overflow and trapped in Vim. Left: The chad programmer of yesteryear, writing low-resolution 3D engines and custom compilers while casually mentioning CIA surveillance like it's a badge of honor. Right: Today's programmer, desperately googling "how to exit vim" for the 47th time while clutching a coffee mug and whimpering for help. The Spotify icon in the corner is just *chef's kiss* - because nothing says "productive coding session" like spending 30 minutes creating the perfect lo-fi playlist. Fun fact: The ":q!" command to exit Vim has been responsible for more developer tears than any code review in history.

You're sitting there proud of yourself for using a debugger and waiting a whole 60 seconds for your IDE to boot up, thinking you're doing pretty well. Then you look at the leaderboard and realize you're competing against: • A guy who's literally on Adderall speedrunning problems with pre-written scripts • Someone doing APL puzzles on a System/360 emulator for fun (their HTML 2.0 compliant homepage confirms they're clinically insane) • An Eastern European dev making $200k who types faster than your brain can process thoughts • A Linux kernel hacker golfing in languages that sound like Lovecraftian incantations and measuring performance in clock cycles • A Chinese prodigy who's been institutionalized since age 3 and needs a PhD in discrete math just to understand their solutions • And finally, the most terrifying of all: an IT support guy forced to solve everything in Excel VBA who somehow channels the collective knowledge of every Indian educational YouTuber ever Competitive programming: where your imposter syndrome gets imposter syndrome.
