That’s the way. I’ve been programming for nigh on four decades, and it’s almost a daily occurrence with junior devs going to stack overflow or chatGPT to solve an issue instead of just searching the code where nine times out of ten the problem (or a very similar one) is already solved.

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded

Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed

Everybody knows the war is over

Everybody knows the good guys lost

Everybody knows the fight was fixed

The poor stay poor, the rich get rich

That’s how it goes

Everybody knows

• Everybody Knows, Leonard Cohen, I’m Your Man, 1988

That was an interesting read, thank you!

Heh, haven’t seen the bash forkbomb in close to two decades… Thanks for the trip down memory lane! :)
