Open-source Memes

The coding community's greatest philosophical divide captured in four panels! While designers clutch their pearls over similar ideas ("How DARE you use the same shade of blue-gray that I discovered after three existential crises?"), programmers have transcended intellectual property altogether. The bottom panels reveal the beautiful communist utopia of code sharing. "I stole your code" isn't an accusation—it's practically a love letter. And the response? Not rage, but the zen-like acknowledgment that nobody truly "owns" code. It's just temporarily borrowed from Stack Overflow before being pasted into production environments worldwide. This is why programmers make terrible pirates. They'd leave a thank-you note and pull request after stealing your treasure.

The eternal dichotomy of creative professionals! Designers clutch their pearls at the mere suggestion someone had a similar idea, while programmers are basically running a communal code library with zero attribution. The open-source philosophy in programming is basically digital socialism: "Our code, comrade." Meanwhile, designers are still fighting turf wars over who first decided to put rounded corners on a rectangle. The irony is that both groups spend half their careers googling solutions that someone else already figured out. Remember kids: good programmers copy, great programmers paste from Stack Overflow.
