I still struggle with the fact that I was (or delusional) an effective C programmer "back in the day" (before google etc) and all we had was "man" to look up std/x11 system calls.

Now I am dismayed with juniors who can't even be bothered to use google (or llms) to look up stuff on their first hiccup.

#include <old-man-shouting-at-clouds>

That’s not a builtin, so wouldn’t it be:

   #include <old-man-shouting-at-clouds.h>
And it's kinda old, so maybe

  #define _POSIX_C_SOURCE 1
  #include <old-man-shouting-at-clouds.h>
Well played good sir, well played
