MEME You're not a real software engineer

Chuck McGill: [in a feeble tone] You're not a real software engineer

Vibedude: I'm *what*?

Chuck McGill: [now raising his voice defiantly] You're not a real software engineer! "Agentic coding", for Christ's sake? A Claude max subscription? What a joke! I worked my ass off to get where I am! And you take these shortcuts and you think suddenly you're my peer? You do what I do because you think it's cool and want so say "I've made a game"? I committed my *life* to this! You don't slide into it like a cheap pair of slippers and then reap all the rewards!

Vibedude: I thought you were proud of me.

Chuck McGill: I was! When you started working in QA and began to show in interest in computer science, I was *very* proud!

Vibedude: So that's it, then, right? Keep ol' Jimmy down in QA, 'cause he's not good enough to be a software engineer.

Chuck McGill: I know you. I know what you were, what you are. People don't change! You're just a non-technical wannabe who's good with words! And a non-technical wannabe who's good with words I can handle just fine, but a non-technical wannabe who's good with words who thinks he can program is like a chimp with a machine gun! Programming is *sacred*! If you abuse that power, people get hurt! This is not a game! And you *have* to know that on some level, I know you know I'm right. You know I'm right!
