I once had an intern attempt to install sudo using NPM and when that didn't work he asked ChatGPT "Why can't I install sudo from NPM?" while I'm trying to explain it to him.

He was smart, but somehow knew very little about commercial computers despite being on the verge of getting his master's in computer science.

It's 2025 and I have no idea what the current way to center something is. Then again, my job is that of a backend engineer so it's rare I'm outputting anything that isn't a log statement. They can pry tables and center tags from my cold, aging hands.

Loving my nearly frontend free development life. I use Stackoverflow or Google maybe 2-3 times a month these days, not sure if I qualify for the upper row :(
