I am altering the meme. Pray I do not alter it any further.
Senior developer here, it looks like they are helping to me.
Sending you on a side quest isnt really helping efficiently

It's less efficient to learn how to do something than to have somebody who knows how do it for you, but it's more effective to learn for yourself. Hard won knowledge is rarely lost.

how dare people alter the meaning of a meme? there are meme standards for a reason!! /s
We live in a society. We have laws. And order.
This is a pretty old meme now. It's a bit late for that.
