Could someone create a meme named "the impoorter" about zoomer programmers? Something in this vein:
>Given a problem, an experienced programmer assesses the situation and correctly estimates that he can code a 100% solution to the problem by writing 5,000 lines of code in a steady, predictable amount of time (a couple of days/weeks). When the customer comes back with changed requirements, he knows the entire codebase and everything it's capable of, and quickly makes the required adjustments.
>A zoomer assesses the problem, chugs a bottle of beanmilk, fires up VSCode and starts impoorting. In 30 minutes he has a 60% solution with 500,000 lines of unit tests and 95% code coverage. He ships it to production immediately and then spends 30 minutes flexing in his social media circle jerk about how he just deployed a bunch of fadtech. The solution never improves beyond the original 60%, and everything breaks within a year when updooters break the platform and dependency hell ensues. The original zoomerdev is gone by this point and never sees the mess. Customers are never really happy with it, but take it up the ass anyway since since everyone expects software to be garbage now.
